The last few weeks...

Willow's been busy playing with Nana and Grandpa and loving every minute of it. She's changed quite a bit since they were here at Christmas! Meanwhile, I've been lacking in the "posting" department. Here are a few for you to enjoy...

Willow's new backpack (thanks Morgan for finding the great deal!). She'll probably be using it for real FAR earlier than I'm ready for her to!

We've gone to a couple of Daddy's church softball games. The kids mostly enjoy playing with eachother (and the dirt apparently). It makes for a late night for Willow going to bed, yet somehow she magically wakes up at her normal time. She does enjoy, though, saying "Go Daddy! Run!"

Willow's great grandpa used to make a lot of wooden toys. We are grateful that he dusted off his tools to make a wooden rocking horse and stool - both with her name on it!

We had a nice visit with Chris' childhood friend David and his wife Heather with their kids David and Chrissie. We enjoyed having dinner and watching the kids play together!

We've had a lot of rainy days lately but Willow loves the outdoors too much to keep her inside!

(Alli's a good guard cat though we've trapped her indoors more lately since the cardinals and blue jays are dive-bombing her...something about them wanting her to stay away from their babies?!?)

Peek-a-boo!

Willow loves going to storytime at the library! They have great leaders that teach them fun songs and rhymes and read books. We love singing the rhymes/songs (that I can remember) at home as well. Although Willow will "sing" and do motions to a lot of the songs at home, she's happier watching the other kids at storytime while she soaks it all up. We went to the 2-3 yr old storytime for the first time and learned a song called "Drive My Car." It's a cute little song although Willow refused to let me even move her hands to the motions while we were there. Now that we're home though...she's doing all of the motions and singing some of the words.
