SML Day

This weekend we went to Smith Mountain Lake (SML) with our small group from church. We had a short Bible study in the morning and then spent the day playing outside. The house had a small beach area. This was Charlotte's first time playing in sand. She didn't know what she thought at first but had a great time after she got comfortable. I am hoping this is the beginning of many beautiful days we will spend outside together this summer.

Daddy can I have a beach in my backyard?

Higher Daddy, Higher!!

I think I might like the sand.

I'm a Big Girl!

Yesterday Charlotte decided it was time to start feeding herself with a spoon. The first food she attempted was yogurt. She did pretty good getting it from the cup into her mouth but still needed a bath after her breakfast. I can't believe how big she is!!

P.S. You gotta love the bed head.

Bunny Love

Charlotte has become very attached to the two bunnies that she sleeps with every night. She basically wants to take them everywhere she goes...even into the bath.

At Play

Recently we have enjoyed some great play time at home. Charlotte has espcially loved playing with her Easter eggs and new scooter. She also enjoys helping us with chores around the house...whether we want her to or not. This week she helped me fold (and unfold laundry) and dust. What a big helper!!!

Easter

For Easter my parents came to visit, unfortunately so did the stomach flu. On Good Friday Charlotte woke up early in the morning throwing up. This was my first time dealing with a really sick little girl. Charlotte was supper brave and Tim was a huge help. I don't know what I would have done without him. The bug hit me on Saturday, my mom on Sunday and Tim on Monday. Needless to say it was a long weekend. We were a little bummed but still had a nice visit with my parents.

Here are a few pictures before church on Saturday evening. I wasn't sick yet.
