{spring cabin time with auntie mindy}

we're sure keeping busy now that the sun has finally appeared and temperatures are nice enough to be out all afternoon.

we're also busy with our house. we're scrapping the whole idea of completely building new and just renovating the house we're currently in. we're waiting on the appraisal stuff and should know the answer as to what we're able to do soon. it's all very exciting, but it seems like FoReVeR to wait!

madelyn has been a busy bee around the house and running around outside. we went on a 'walk' to get the mail at the end of the lane. she had to stop every 2 seconds to pick out the 'perfect' flower. 'oh mom, this is a perfect one!' they were the dandelions that had turned to fluff. she figured out how to quickly get the fluffy stuff off of it without blowing on them...she just rubs it all off with her hands and watches it fly in the wind. pretty cute.

blaise is just as active and loves to watch madelyn run around outside. he loves to swing and just like madelyn did, he screams when he has to get out. he's now in most 24 month outfits...such a big guy :)

mindy has returned home from college for the summer...madelyn is thrilled! (and so are we ;) ) we've spent a couple days at the cabin already. excited for summer to get here and enjoy HOT weather!
