Enjoying the weather

What a beautiful afternoon! After we got home from school, Annika and I played in the backyard for a bit. Geoff has worked so hard making our backyard a refuge that we can all enjoy. You should have seen the overgrown mess that existed when we moved in four and a half years ago. Annika loves being outside, especially since it means she can pick up rocks, dig in the dirt, and smell the flowers.

She almost stood up by herself . . .then she realized that she wasn't holding on to anything.

She didn't let her first taste of dirt ruin her appetite! Butterbean fed herself the entire dinner I fixed for her-woohoo! She had 1/2 of a rice cake with peanut butter, dried cherries, home-grown tomatoes, some baby food, milk, and rotini with tomato sauce. It's the largest meal she's had in a while, so we were thrilled!

I noticed in the pictures of Annika's birthday how great the yard looked, I love all the stone. You will appreciate having such a great backyard more and more as Annika gets older. It's so wonderful for her to be outside!

P.S. I LOVE the tub as a planter!
