long time, no post

I know it's been awhile. With the nice weather I'm not inside as much and not online as often. We're enjoying the sunshine and warmth, swinging, blowing bubbles, picking up sticks, eating rocks...you know, the things everyone does outside! She loves carrying things around--anything she finds on the ground is fair game. The other day I found her carrying a dead earthworm she found on the driveway. That's my girly girl, huh (at least she didn't get it as far as her mouth!)

Mostly she just enjoys walking up and down the sidewalk. Give her a straight path and she'll go forever. The other day she saw someone walking a dog and took off after them, practically in a run! She's very social, and anytime she sees other people she breaks out into a huge smile, points to them, and takes off in that direction. There's no such thing as a stranger at this point in her life.

We've been working on landscaping. We've lived here for nearly four years and have yet to do anything to the landscaping, even though there's been plenty we've wanted to do. So finally we started. This past weekend we ripped out two dead cedar trees and another tree that was growing out of control and leaning into the garage. We transplanted about 10 bushes and planted some rose bushes and a very small tree. We're hoping we didn't kill everything in the transplanting--neither of us has a very green thumb. We have lots more to do, and at the moment it looks quite bare, but I'm anxious to see what it looks like when we're done. Our little one loves to "help!" She was out with us for awhile on Sunday and loved carrying around clumps of dirt, climbing over them, and falling into the holes we dug. She was into everything, but loving every minute of it. She's definitely not one afraid to get dirty. Maybe we have a tomboy on our hands.
