Nana's Trip

Nana came for a long weekend-Saturday to Tuesday. Although the trip was short we got a lot of quality time together. Madigan played with Nana as much as she could-even locking her in her room!

Sun Hat Season

(Okay a small disclaimer here: I only packed the camera to take a picture of M's new sweater vest I made her. It's the neighborly found here. It turned out adorable and she seems to really like it (she picked the colors with me). It took me about 2 months to make, but at least I finished it in time for Spring. It should fit her for a while too.)

Spring is finally here and Madigan wants to be outside every minute of the day. Last week we walked up to the duckpond. M and I fed the ducks until Leo woke up.
Madigan has had this 'bonnet' sun hat for a long time and it still fits. The way it's made it will probably fit next year too--- and then I'll have to find a pattern to make more. It's by FlapHappy, which must be pretty popular.... We have about 10 hats by this company, all from the thrift stores.... I picked Leo up 2 more a couple of months ago. He's wearing his too! Yay for sun hat weather!

Last Snow??

I really hope this week is the last week we have of snow. Yesterday we got a good 6 inches or so. It was the PERFECT snow for building things! Madigan and I made a snow man while shoveling. She's actually helpful when shoveling this year!

Family Hike

We hiked up Drinking Horse Mountain yesterday while the weather was good. It's a beautiful new trail really close to town. Madigan walked for part of it, but mostly rode in the Ergo. (She's such a big girl now!!) Leo slept the entire time and nursed at the summit.

This tree/stick fort is at the summit and oh so fun!Madigan roasted marshmallows (snow on a stick) and planted flowers.

Even Naya is in the family photo!:

Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter at the Boyer Family's farm. There was a huge brunch, followed by a snow covered egg hunt, and then onto baby goats and chicks! I love the easy going nature of Easter.

Madigan held this baby goat for a very long time:

Egg Dye Day

I broke in and bought the princess egg dye kit this year. Madigan loved it. We dyed the eggs on Saturday and then made Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs-yum!
Madigan's little headband I made a few months ago. It stays in the cloth napkin basket at the table so we can pull her hair back while eating or painting, etc. It's the 5 minute hairkerchief found here.
