Life Lately!

Life lately has been keeping us busy and having lots of fun!  Life with a 3 year old is never boring and each day is always new.  You just never know how it'll go!

  Michael's schedule has been a bit different lately since he's in Captain upgrade training...yahoo!!  He has been home lately though since this part of the training is in Houston.  So while he's been gone for part of the days for training, he's also had quite a bit of time at home and we love that.

I'll let some pictures catch you up on what we've been up to:

A playdate with her classmates to the local fire station

Such a cute firefighter!

Putting her stuffed animals out one day.  She kept saying, "I have so many"!

Lily likes to "read" and show the book like her teacher at school

More reading one day

A little static electricity in a tunnel at the playground

Helping Daddy roll out some pizza dough

LOVES to help in the kitchen!

Gracie likes to stay close as you can see

Putting her animals to bed and telling me to be quiet.  Lily loves using the new blankets she recently received covering up all her dolls and animals!  

Asleep on the way home from school one day

A little iPad time along with a new puppy from her birthday

A little bike ride one day

My morning view the other day - one view that I'll never get tired of

Heading to school last week for her feast

Lily's placemat.  Yes, I did tear up when I saw this. 

Feasting

All her little people lined up and ready

An afternoon coffee at the coffee shop.  Lily will now ask to go to the coffee shop - and who am I to not grant her the one little wish?!?!?  A coffee for Mommy and a lemonade and treat for Lily - it's a win, win!

Another day, another park.  I am so glad we live in a place where there are so many parks within a few minutes from where we live.  Lily is always up for some playing and climbing.  Our weather lately has been perfect that we rarely go a day where we don't get in at least one park visit. 

Peeling her banana at the park one day.  As she says, "I do it all myself".  Love that independence.

Another favorite view

Lily is very helpful at cleaning up and getting ready to go

So, that's our life lately.  Busy, fun, silly and tiring but I love all of it!  I know from everyone that these years go by all too quickly so I'm trying to enjoy it all and capture all the moments I can.
