Cinderella

Somebody has been an extra big help around the house, now that her baby sister is here. This weekend Ida Jane helped water flowers:



While Harper played on her playmat.



And she helped rake up some leaves:



While Harper took a nap (can you believe how big she is? She just turned two months on Sunday).



And even though she took a quick break to call some friends and family



Soon it was back to washing down the siding while Harper snoozed in her stroller.



After all that work, someone else needed a nap with her best friend, Herman, curled up with her.



What a busy weekend!

Sunday quickie

It was an exciting day yesterday, as we had a yard sale along with many of our neighbors. Ida Jane and Harper enjoyed all the activities. Of course, Mom and Dad were too busy making deals and watching kids to take any pictures.

But today was rainy and cooler, and so we had time to take some pictures.

Here's one from earlier in the week Mama took of Harper in her car seat.



Ida Jane has been loving the berries we've been getting in from the south. Here she is after cleaning out a bowl of strawberries and blackberries.



And here are the girls posing in their beautiful flower outfits.

Happy Mother's Day!

It's been a lot of fun around the house as Harper gets more interactive, and we can all spend more time outside with the nicer weather. Of course, for Mother's Day weekend it'll be rainy and cool, but that's how it goes.

Here are the girls, hanging out on the couch.



Ida Jane recently got some sunglasses, which she loves. She's too cool for school in these bad boys:



And here's Harper modeling some age-appropriate fashion - a bib!



With all the nice weather, it's been trip after trip to the park. Here's Ida Jane with her best friend from next door, Sofia, heading out in the wagon (it's the only way to travel).



And, last but not least, a nice movie of Harper checking out her mobile and being cute in general.

Twice the fun

It's been an eventful spring in Rockville, with Harper growing quickly. Here she is, modeling some pajamas.



Ida Jane's new best friend Alexandra came to visit as well, which was quite a treat. Here are the girls getting ready to head out to the park in a wagon:



And here they are, ruling the jungle gym!



We had a lot of fun with Allie and hope to see her again soon.

Here's dad with his two girls.



While one is still a few months away from sitting:



The other is learning to get comfortable on a new seat.



We've had some great weather lately, which has meant even more trips to the park. Ida Jane likes to bring along her doll, Lulu, as well.



I'll try to be more prompt with the postings in the future. Harper has given us a couple of decent nights recently. The more rest we can get, the more pictures we can get up here. Have a great Sunday, everyone!
