skinned knees and baby jellies!


Thursday, March 15, 2012

It has been b.e.a.utiful over here in good 'ol Virginia! I've almost forgotten about the winter blues I've suffered from the past 3 months because spring is coming in like a lion with 80* weather. With spring of course comes an abundance of animal life emerging from their winter hiding places, giving us endless creatures to scavenger hunt for. Evelyn has learned the sign for bird this week, and so after dinner each night we've gone bird watching. It's been such an eye opener for me to stop and really take in the beauty of this earth. Jared and I stop with her at just about every tree looking for a little tweet*tweet*. We examined a wiggly worm, flowers blooming and just really soaked in the little details of this world.

I also can't get enough of this little girl in her short shorts and little jellies! She's getting really good at "running" now, which led to a little spill and cut knee. Jared commented "She's not a baby anymore. She's a full grown toddler, getting her hands dirty and scraping her knees!" So true, dear, so true.

**Does anyone else always want to sing this song from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers when spring comes around? I always had a crush on Ephraim...

  2. Hi! I recently found your blog and am loving your chronicling of your cute family's life! Also, I LOVE that you reference Seven Brides for Seven Brothers - one of my all-time favorite movies! I was listening to "Wonderful, Wonderful Day" as I walked to work this morning! My crush was always Benjamin but Ephraim's a cutie too!

  9. I bought myself some jellies like a year ago because I remembered loving them when I was younger. Sadly they aren't nearly as cute as Evelyn's and not comfortable either.

    Our friends in VA told us its been 80 this week. Its been in the 60s in Utah, and that has been amazing for us, so I can't imagine 80s. time to tan :P

  22. How adorable! I love the name Evelyn - so pretty. And jellies are awesome! I used to get a new pair every year - may try that tradition with my little girl, if I have one someday. P.S. If I didn't love your blog already, the fact that you referenced "Seven Brides" really clinched it for me : )

  23. My little Sadie just got her first skinned knee too! I was more freaked out then she was honestly, it was so weird seeing my little baby bleed. But, you are right, they aren't much baby anymore and way more little kid. Many more bumps and bruises to come!
