Fun in the Sun!

After taking her to the playground for the very first time, I decided to introduce Annie to the front yard yesterday, and I'm certain it was a big hit! She could have cared less if I was there, she was just mesmerized with the way the grass felt on her hands and tootsies. I loved watching her expressions as she, no doubt, was wondering what this new texture was she was feeling! I guess she's still too young to completely appreciate the playground as I did when I was a child, but I am certain she still enjoyed just being outside. The entire time we were out for our walk and little adventure, she was happy as a clam!

Buddies!

So my friend (and cousin) Erin and I were pregnant at the same time for most of our pregnancies, and we're now finding it so fun to compare our two little ones. Or should I say, CHUNKY ones? :) Not-so-litte Wyatt Arndt was born December 28th...Annie, October 18th. We're starting to think that Wyatt is about to (if he hasn't already) pass Annie right on by with his weight and length.


This was last weekend. The two checked each other out, finding it amusing to have another person of their size to look at. Oh what fun lies ahead for the two cousins! We're all looking forward to watching them grow up together!

The Walls are Up!

Annie is starting to get antsy these days...it's almost as if I can see her thoughts, thinking, "When am I ever going to be able to move around on my own??" She is so interested in EVERYTHING, and I just KNOW we'll have our hands even more full when she starts crawling! But for now, she just likes to rock about on her hands and thighs...she hasn't quite put the knees and hands thing together yet, but I'm sure she'll figure it out soon!



The guys are making great progress on the garage still...yippee skippy! They have just about finished putting the siding up, and today they will be working on the roof. I'm looking forward to the day this project is finished! It will be nice to have it done and have daddy back! :) He and his dad have been working so hard! Every chance Brian gets, he's out there working on it. I'm so proud of him for sticking with it. Expected completion date: May 1.
