Project Life: Week 15

Sunday, April 8
Happy Easter! Josh took a picture of me and my girls before church. Two of the three of us were enthused...luckily, after a good worship service, lunch, and a nap, Ellie decided to cooperate, after all :)

Why hello, there, Mommy!

A chilly night spent indoors, with lots of books, smiles, and bounces on the Big Girl Bed.

Tonight after the girls went to bed, Josh and I tackled Yet Another Project--this time, painting the upstairs doors. It took longer than we had anticipated, but minus the closet doors in the extra bedroom, it's done!

 Ellie has discovered the joy that is blowing raspberries, and the joy was only multiplied when the raspberries were blown with a mouthful of carrots. Truly, her expression says it all :) When she and I were done, we joined Josh and Elaina outside. Taking cues from Winston, Elaina decided to show me how she, as a cat-toddler, enjoys a fine meal of patio-side grass. Meanwhile, Ellie practiced crawling.

Ppppppbbbbb!

Winston shows her how it's done

 Ellie has taken to drinking from a cup during her bath. She looks like such a big shot :)

Tonight was really exciting for me, as I was finally able to see Selah in concert! Mom, Dad, Rachel, and Lips joined me while Josh stayed home with the girls. The last time Selah was in the area, Elaina wasn't even quite a week old, so obviously I didn't get to go. The show was well worth the wait...uplifting, beautiful, powerful, fun. Hope the next wait isn't so long!!!

After our guests left, we headed into town to get plants with which to start our garden. One of the things I love about living in Chillicothe is the Picket Fence nursery/garden center. They have really fair prices and the people who work there couldn't be any nicer. Each time we go, they give Elaina a balloon, which becomes her prized possession for the remainder of the day. I had a lot of fun shooting pictures of her with it when we got home.
