Dandelion Days


Both of my girls love to be outside, but what they find even more thrilling, are the flowers that have started to bloom as well as the dandelions scattered everywhere.  A field of dandelions, for them, is as exciting as Christmas morning or waking up to snow.  Every chance they get, they have their little hands filled with flowers and dandelions.  What's better than picking dandelions?  Blowing them of course!










Milan can do it.


Paloma cannot, but that doesn't stop her from trying!












Our house is surrounded by fields, which are currently completely covered in dandelions.  On nice evenings, and after we have finished dinner, the girls love to run around the fields, picking and blowing dandelions, chasing after each other, and all the while singing at the top of their little lungs.  It's really something special to watch.













Paloma's new way of sitting...


Running around the fields as the sun goes down.  The girls love to shout goodbye and goodnight to the sun.


Most importantly, they love spending time together, often walking in the fields holding hands (of course those photos were completely out of focus).





I'm not sure how it can get better than this.

Happy Easter


The girls have really been enjoying their Easter!  Easter baskets were met with excited squeals, new stuffed bunnies were loved on, and Peeps eaten for the first time (they loved them).  After breakfast, I took the girls upstairs to get dressed while James went outside to hide the eggs.  Milan and Paloma could barely contain themselves as we left the house to begin our hunt.  I will never forget the looks of excitement and anticipation on their faces as they ran all over the yard.  They were SO thrilled each time an egg was spotted.  Needless to say, enjoying the fruit of their labor was a favorite moment, too!  They are rarely given candy, but they sure ate it like champs today!
