This last weekend Matthew had a three day weekend! Can you believe it?! We decided at the last minute that we were going to go up to visit Ganga and Boppa in Sandpoint, ID. Even better, we decided to take Dana, Brian and Penelope with us! It was a perfect getaway. We played games - Dana, Ganga and I made jelly and jam, & we all drove over to Green Bluff, WA to go to a pumpkin patch and go apple picking. I am now feeling the fall!
Today was a beautiful 78°F
and not a cloud in the sky. Matthew was working and needless to say Garrett and
I were getting restless! So, crossing my fingers I suited the little boy up in
his new swim duds and turned on the sprinkler. My fearless little man stepped
right in. For the next hour and a half we had our own backyard waterpark.What Fun!
Here in Montana it is finally starting to feel like spring! And let me tell you, we have been trying to enjoy every minute of it. It makes me so happy to see the sun shining in the morning when I wake up and hear the birds chirp out my window. However, the best part about the flowers starting to poke their heads up is that fact that Team D is no longer stuck inside. HALLELUJAH!
Garrett has loved learning to play on the playground, swing on the swings and ride his trike (although still not tall enough to reach the pedals). Enjoy these first pictures of the season. :)
Once again I am sorry that I have gotten off the blogger train for a while. I think I need to do some updating! I am not going to do all my updating today, but I do have a very quick story to tell.
This morning as I was watching Disney Junior with Garrett and Matthew as they showed a little segment on poems, then shared a poem read by Jennifer Garner. By the end I had tears in my eyes and Matthew was laughing at me. But I thought it was so sweet and had to look it up so I could share it with you!
My heart is like a fountain true
that flows and flows with love to you
as chirps the lark unto the tree
so chirps my pretty babe to me
There is not a rose wherever I seek
as comely as my baby's cheek
there's not a comb of honey bee
so full of sweets as babe to me
There's not a star that shines on high
is brighter than my baby's eye
There's not a boat upon the sea
can dance as baby does to me
No silk was ever spun so fine
as is the hair of baby mine
My baby smells more sweet to me
than smells in spring the elder tree
So in my heart does baby dwell A little flower blows on the tree My baby is the flower to me
Ten thousand parks where deer do run
Ten thousand roses in the sun
Ten thousand pearls beneath the sea
my babe more precious is to me.
Updates to come, but right now I have to go hug and hold my little one. <3
Garrett is growing like it is going out of style, speaking of style (don’t you like my sweet transition), this last week we took him to get his very first haircut. He was a Champ! No tears were shed (even by Mommy), no yelling or screaming, and out of the salon came a handsome and well groomed little boy.
