April Showers

Yesterday it was nearly 85, sunny, and humid. I was looking forward to the cool front and the storm that was brining it to us. I missed the storm, slept really hard since Isaiah only woke me once at 4:00am. The cool weather is nice! I wasn't quite ready for the heat and humidity. Rebecca and Levi liked the rain too....or at least the rain puddles.
 We didn't insist on the winter hat...Levi is just used to the cold weather protocol... hat required.

 Trying to find little projects to keep Levi busy and distracted from making messes. This idea from Pinterest was perfect for my wire loving little man. It kept him busy for quite a while this morning and its much safer than his last wire project. He pulled Aaron over to an outlet with a "tada" and pointed out a wire stuck in the ground holes of two plugs. Thankfully he didn't try sticking those metal ends in the hot openings. Yes, we bought more outlet covers!

 Rebecca is excited about the rain because she has her own garden this year. Another great idea from pinterest, this pallet garden. No weeding or tilling required. Her lettuce is already coming up! Little brother was all into filling the pallet with dirt!

 This week Isaiah was six weeks old. To celebrate the occasion I packed away his newborn size clothing. Sad, but six weeks was a good run and I'm enjoying his stockier and more cuddly feel. Our chubby little guy tipped the scales at 10 pounds 3 ounces!

No open eye smiles yet, but as he drifts off to sleep we get little half grins and sometimes big full smiles. This mama likes to think its his way of saying "I'm so happy you're my mom."
