It Doesn't Get Better Than This

These girls and their mama LOVE being outside. The weather has been beautiful and we've been loving life outdoors!

Since she was about 1 1/2, Elise's favorite thing to do outside has been to dig for worms. This week, Elise introduced Anja to the joy of digging for worms. Anja decided it was more fun to pour the dirt all over herself, even going so far as to lift up her shirt and pour it onto her belly.They spotted a worm here...
If she was trying to get the dirt into her belly button, she succeeded!

Anja LOVES birds (it is one of the "real" words she tries to say). When we are outside she will walk up really slow and just watch them, or follow them as they fly away from her. When she is inside, she loves to watch them out the window (we have bird feeders right outside this picture window).

She' s saying "look! A bird!" (we are the only ones who can understand what she is saying, of course )

This time, she had to climb ALL the way up to see as much as possible (she is a bit of a daredevil and loves to climb)

And of course, we have had great times at the park...

Elise wanted to push Anja on the swing, and did a great job!
