Backyard Bliss

Ever since Scott completed the play structure over Spring Break, the backyard has been a favorite spot for all of us. Particularly this spring, with it's mild weather, saw us spending many happy hours out back. Once the weather got warm enough, we ate many lunches, dinners and snacks out back on our covered porch.


Besides eating, the kids enjoyed all activities associated with water. Keira loves to water the plants, or water anything for that matter. She's just a water girl. Then, when we got the water table for Keira's party that became a perennial favorite.




Finally, as the weather heated up for good, but before our neighborhood pool opened for the season, both kids enjoyed playing in the baby pool and going down the water slides on our back hill. Elijah continues to be an amazingly sweet and helpful big brother. We are incredibly lucky and blessed that our kids get along so well. Keira usually needs parental help to get down the little slide in the pool and the big slide down the back hill. But, one afternoon, her big brother helped instead. So sweet.
