Fun in the Front, Fun in the Back

Thursday, February 22 –

We had fun playing with the kids in the front yard and the back yard.

The funnest thing to do in the front yard is ride in the wagon.

Coconut always has to jump in. She really loves the wagon.

In the backyard is a playhouse among other things. Here we are having a tea party in front of it.

Steel is the uninvited guest.

Marian is red riding hood.

Steel is the wolf, but he doesn’t look too ferocious.

Looks like Robin Hood has come by for refreshments.

Little John is thirsty, too.

Atlanta sent me these pictures of Marian trying on the new blue swim suit I bought her. Isn’t she so adorable? Looks like she’ll have to grow a little bit more first.

A Dose of Marian

In an attempt to cover up some of the pain and anger you’re probably feeling on this dreaded tax day, how about a few pictures sure to make you smile? Remember, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down…

Atlanta reports that Marian has at least four rolls on her thighs now…as you can see from the picture.

The Backpack

When I was raising my babies, I discovered that they really liked to ride in a backpack. They were always so curious as to what I was doing, and they didn’t particularly like to swing or sit for too long. However, in the backpack, they stayed very contented and happy.

Since Atlanta was having trouble keeping Marian happy while she worked, I packed up my old backpack and sent it to Tennessee. She’s been sending me a few pictures of the little darling enjoying her new status as head papoose.

Atlanta says the only problem is that it tends to put her to sleep every time. But if you’re careful, you can slip out of the backpack and set it down on its legs without waking up the sleeping baby.
