Beach Day!

What beautiful, warm weather we've been having. We've been meaning to take a trip to the beach, so yesterday we traveled 25 minutes to Tybee Island. We have been informed by the locals, that Tybee beaches are the nicest around here, and we were not disappointed. We spent the day making sand castles with Piper and watching Pelicans swoop down into the ocean. Broc and I agreed that we could get used to this lifestyle for awhile.

Fairy Dust

Pipes and I are reading Peter Pan. My mom gave me this edition which was created in the 1950's. I do love the original Disney movie, but the illustrations in this book are just whimsical. Piper is fascinated with the idea of fairy dust. So much so that I'm afraid she might take a leap of faith someday. Lets hope it is just off her

bed.

Piper is just getting over a cold, which means, we haven't been out much. I am so looking forward to getting outside and visiting with friends now that she is well.

Despite my boredom, being indoors has benefited my project procrastination. I made this little curtain to cover the fireplace in Piper's play room. There are four fireplaces in our house and none of them are working. This one now serves as toy storage.

Our good friends Micah and Patty have a handsome new addition. Welcome Collin, we can't wait to meet you!

Story Time

I did it! I figured out how to make my photos BIG without effecting the quality. It is probably something silly easy for a nerd like my husband, but hot dog, it's an accomplishment for me!
I wish you all could come with Piper and I to story time at our local library. Kids from ages 0 to 3 years meet in a pastel "play house" in the corner of the children's section. Piper LOVES story time and I love to take her, because the children are hilarious! Story lady reads three to five toddler appropriate books, but sings and dances in between. The 2 and 3 year olds sing each song with all the vigor and zeal they can muster from their tiny little diaphragms. Piper, of course is the exception. She will clap with a nervous grin throughout the singing, but if some baby gets in her way while a story is being read, well watch out baby.
This week we are practicing with scissors (plastic, don't worry) and working on valentines.
