last week we went to the zoo with some of the playgroup.

Elijah was once again Daddy's little helper over the weekend.

One of our latest projects around the house. I made Elijah a chalkboard in his room by painting a square on the wall with chalkboard paint. Jim then cut some trim to frame it out.

Last week we met up with some friends at the park one afternoon. Elijah has been loving the nice weather where he can run around. This was Nathaniel's first time on the swings. He fell asleep for a little bit.

We took advantage of the nice weather we had over the weekend and went to Ocean City for a few hours. Nathaniel enjoyed his first trip and Elijah keeps asking to go back. It's going to be a fun summer for sure!

The other day Elijah took of his socks and said he wanted to be like Mommy. I thought that meant that he was going to walk barefoot. What he really meant was that he was going to use that nail polish that was on the table to paint his toenails a pretty shade of pink.

5 months!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today we had some of Elijah's friends over to make Irish potatoes.

Nathaniel was excited about his first St. Patty's day.

Hoping for a garden

We're trying to make a garden from seeds this year. Elijah and I planted tomatoes, cucumbers, cantaloupe, watermelon, pumpkin, green beans, oregano, basil and cilantro the other day. So now we have to wait and see what grows!

making sure they're watered.

A day late but that's better than never!

Otters!

Zoo fun

We went to the zoo on Sunday. It was great going and see how much of a different experience it was compared to the last time we were there with Elijah. This time he was able to name pretty much every animal.
The giraffes were loving the beautiful day, and each other.

Elijah was so excited watching the otters

come and ride the train

patiently waiting his turn

out of all the cool animals on the carousel, he chose the turtle that is only a chair

Nathaniel slept through half of the visit
