April Showers Bring May Flowers...

Our April has been very busy.....there are showers to WALK THROUGH....(can't forget to bring some of those showers inside! :)....

And showers to HAVE....complete with four airplane rides, two cancelled flights, and an unexpected five-hour layover (alone without Daddy!) with the Lovely Ladies. But it was worth it to throw the prettiest mama-to-be a baby shower in Lincoln, NE. The Ladies loved the excursion and being spoiled by Auntie Laura (and I think the blushing mama-to-be did, too! :) Can't wait for that baby girl to be born! :)

All those April showers brought pretty May flowers. Evelyn LOVED helping me plant. She had her own tools and gloves, and she used them! Every morning she wakes up and says, "I have to go outside and check on my flowers, Mimi. I'll let you know if they're ok."
There was also some "showering" of the new flowers. Evelyn tells me many times that we don't want her flowers getting thirsty. She waters them many times a day. :)

All that showering made the Ladies tired; time for a rest and a good book. Evelyn has spent much of her time in the last few weeks reading books, singing, and playing Peekaboo with her sister. I'm so thankful for such a sweet helper! It's a good thing we kept the "Evie Dome" (as Papa Jeff so fondly nicknamed it three years ago). Now it's the Vivie Dome and they love it!

April has been so busy! Can't wait to see what the little Ladies come up with in May! Evelyn already has plan for this week... ...she told me today, "When I grow up and marry a nice boy who loves Jesus, I'm gonna rock you and Daddy and Viv to sleep every night. I'm going to kiss your ow-ies and give you a bubble at night. But then I'll have to go, because it's my last day of school on May 6th and I don't want to be tired."
