Sweet Times with My Ju Ju

With such gorgeous fall afternoons, Juliana and I have gotten to spend a lot of quality time outside together while Britta naps.  Here are some of the highlights of our times together--

Playing with her baby doll (the sweetness is just overwhelming sometimes).  Juliana and I played house and fed her baby and then took her for a walk.

 We swing out front and then climb the tree while we wait for the big kids to come home.

 So silly and beautiful!

Ju Ju wanted to take a picture of me too :-)

 Another afternoon she was Tigger and we went out on the trampoline to goof around.

 

And some days we bake cookies and make frosting for them.  Juliana loves to be a helper when I bake!

I have truly enjoyed my one-on-one time that I've had with each of my children.  They are such sweet, curious, and fun little people and I am truly blessed to be able to be at home with them.  While my days aren't always sunshine and roses, the good outnumber the bad and the bad days make me appreciate the good times that much more.  I certainly wouldn't trade this time for anything else in the world.

Zoo Fun

We go to the zoo pretty frequently, but it's not very often that we get to go with both Grandma Karen AND Grandpa Harvey!  It was a gorgeous fall day and so we all ventured out for some fun timers.

 Everyone wanted pictures of themselves on the jungle vines..

 And bc Grandma and Grandpa were along, everyone got treated to a ride on the carousel!

 We also visited the local dinosaur quarry for some intense digging.

 And took pictures on various statues.

 Britta got a kick out of sharks and rays at the aquarium too.  Fun day!
