Clementine keeps getting bigger whether we like it or not. Right now she's in a cutting and making phase. She makes the funniest, clumsiest, little creations because she has no idea what she's doing. The other idea she came out with little crowns for her and Milky (the bunny) to wear, and it was if she had conceived the idea of a crown ex nihilo. No thought of the usual long strip with points. Just a totally haphazard mixture of shapes she must have somehow envisioned in her head, taped together however she could manage it. And she was so proud. I almost started crying just looking at her proud little face.
A tiny laptop
Matching tutus (Clementine had to add the straps in back for Milky, of course)
Biscuit eating his tiny meal
Caw and Minty eating their tiny meals (there is a lot of this going on lately)
The night Clementine paid Bunny Money to stay up past bedtime and have hot chocolate with us
Cute lists Ziggy wrote of things he's thankful for. Let me translate them:
Goldie is our resident flower cutter and makes sure there are always pretty bouquets on the table and around the house when possible. It's good because I love having flowers inside but I never think about cutting any! This is a good time of year for them.
Sam and me on a walk
Here is the little rock garden grave of Nutmeg and the three babies. It's outside my bedroom window and it looks so pretty right now in the spring. I love the pink flowering cherry tree!
Malachi got ordained to the office of Elder and got the Melchizedek Priesthood! The bishop said maybe he was the first person to do so barefoot.😄
Little friends
Big (and silly) friends
Clementine sleeping on me while I work on my computer
Abe, a million of Abe's friends, Ky, Daisy, and Junie all went to see "Project Hail Mary." So fun.
Rainbow clips for Clementine. "I wish I had a rainbow dress too," she said. A few moments later…
…she had found one.
Another day. Putting the hair things in little color "families."
Gus wrapped up in his blanket like a baby
Blossoms, blossoms, blossoms! I love this time of year. The flowering pears don't last very long.
For a few days, from the living room, you feel like you're surrounded by flowers because every window has a blossom tree in it!
Flowering apricots coming out too
I love them!
Jumping to grab the rope at swimming lessons. Gus got it! …for a second. It looks like he's walking on water here.
Teddy actually swung on it
It slipped just through Ziggy's fingers
So close again, Gus
Clementine was…a little off
Compliment board full of compliments
Swinging with some animals
We went to the Lindon Temple Open House on the same night the entire rest of the population of Lindon decided to go. It was fun, though, because we met Abe and Ky there and got to talk to them while we stood in line (which wound alllll the way around the temple). It was a nice, warm, windy evening.
Junie is still wearing her leotard from ballet, if you're wondering about her outfit choice
Moments before Junie pushed Daisy off the wall, just like this meme
But somehow Daisy reappeared
Daisy wearing…Teddy's jacket?? How is this possible. (Malachi has a thing or two to say about it.)
And lastly, beautiful tulips in the rain at our own temple!
