Enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing day off today with my girlies.
Walked over to the duck pond this morning. Dan has been hitting the yard sales every Saturday morning with his little ladies (they call it their 'yard sale day!' and look forward to me working on Saturdays so they can go together), and found Faith a cute little princess scooter the other day for $8. She has been wanting a scooter (or, as she calls it her 'ooooter') for the longest time because she wants to be like Donovan! Now, we just have to find Maddie a bike, and we'll be set. Anyway, they took turns on the scooter the whole way down to the duck pond. They love that thing.
We saw a turtle, tons of fish, and a bunch of water snakes today down at the pond. It was quite interesting! I had never seen water snakes skimming the surface of the water the way that they were today. Considering I am not a fan of snakes, it was a little freaky, but still really neat.

Totally unrelated, but 'new' things for my Show-y:
At her 1-year check-up, she weighed 18 lbs, 4 oz and was 29 inches tall.
She loves whole milk, and it has to be warm. I put it in the microwave for her, and she just loves it. Now that she has weaned herself completely from nursing (bittersweet for me), she sits on my lap in the mornings and drinks her cup of milk. It's really cute.
She absolutely LOVES one of Maddie's favorite board books from when Maddie was a baby. It has the lyrics to the Sesame Street song "Imagination" and that song soothes her whenever she is being fussy.
Speaking of books, she LOVES books as she always has. But, now she's funny because she hates it when a book is about to end. She knows if it's about to end, and will start fidgeting and when you ask her "do you want to read it again?" she'll nod her head up and down. She'll also bring a book to you and get into your lap.

Water snakes? I want to see them! Also a note to you: That bench near your house that is the picture right now takes lovely photos or did you shop all that rustic charm into it? JK I'm know it a great bench. Hope to see you soon.
Hahahaha.. I had to think for a second what you were talking about, and then figured out the bench from the top picture? That is actually at Longwood Gardens when we went two weeks ago! I don't think we have any benches that pretty around here that aren't covered in bird poop!
