Strawberry Pickin is Yummy

So the one day Reese and I have plans to be somewhere early...she sleeps until 7:30am! You will hear no complaints from me though, as I always appreciate a few more minutes of sleep. (especially when we had another 4:30am wake up call.) I wish this ear infection would heal quickly! At 9am we met up with Paul and some of my friends and their little ones for some good old fashioned fun -- strawberry pickin'. At first (as always), Reese was tentative and just walked back and forth between me and Paul, happy to be outside. Once she bit into a strawberry, she decided pickin 'em was fun. I tried to convince her she wanted the big red ones, but she picked a few green ones too. After tasting the green one, I think she realized I was right. A few of our strawberries have little finger holes from an aggressive pull off the plant from a certain 1-year old. But overall, we picked lots and had fun doing it! I think we're meeting at a blueberry farm next!

Here are some photos of our journey through the strawberry fields -- photos taken courtesy of my friend Amy who snapped some photos of us since mommy forgot her camera!

A Day with Mom

Here's a shot from Sun Country, Jonesville's gymnastics center which has 'open play' on Friday mornings. Reese was tentative at first but figured out she could have fun about 30 minutes into being there...the below shot is her at the top of a slide about 4 and 1/2 feet above the ground. She climbed a wooden ladder and then 2 platforms to get to the slide. I think you can tell from the picture, she was starting to have fun!

Summer is Here

I know it's been a while, but honestly, I don't know if it's because Reese is so busy or because we are so busy, but we don't seem to be taking as many photos of Reese as we did a year ago...with that being said, here is a photo from a few weeks ago of Reese in our pool.
