Easter

Yesterday was a much warmer day, so we did most of our egg hunting then.

She was very cute for church this morning. If you look closely, you can see her fat lip. She was pulling her wagon, tripped, and fell onto a rock that cut her top gum and bottom lip.

Busy Week!

This has been a very busy week for us. My oldest niece, Ashley, came down for her spring break. Cailin loves her Ashley. They had a good time playing. Cailin just wants someone to go outside with her. Wednesday, Ashley and I took Cailin to the pediatrician. Keep one thing in mind, we are on hour away from our doctor. Cailin did very well with the new doctor. She was very nice and I'm very pleased with her. Cailin, at two years and 4 days, weighed 32.5 pounds and was 35 3/4 inches tall. She was in the 95% for height and weight and 75% for her head. With all the hair she has, I'm not worried about her head being small. After we left the doctors office, it was off to do shopping. We are also one hour from any shopping other than Wal-Mart. Spring and summer will be here before we know it and I wanted to be prepared. Now Cailin is ready for summer. Ashely left on Thursday, but my sister and my other niece and nephew came. We have had a house full and Cailin has enjoyed them all. Thanks to Aunt Carla, Cailin now has a snow cone machine and loves to eat ice. Matthew has been gone the last few days. He had a business trip to Russellville and then went to our NWA house to check on things. He was able to see some of our friends and pay our house-keeper. To help us out and our teenage neighbor, she goes to the house once or twice a week to dust and wipe off the counters. She has been a big help to us keeping it fresh for any showings we get. They have showed the house several times, but still no bites. I'm hoping that spring will bring out the buyers. Cailin is taking a nap now and Matthew is on his way home. I hope the rest of the weekend is pretty quite. I wish you all a Happy Easter and may God bless you all.

Happy 2nd Birthday Cailin

The Birthday Girl!!

Riding her new tricycle

Everybody loves cake!

2 years ago today. My baby is now a big girl.

With Papa

Hey Papa, Let's go swing

She has to have a hat when she goes out the door with Papa. Isn't she cute!!

Picking flowers

Flowers for Nana

The jonquils are blooming here and Cailin loves to pick flowers. She has been sick all weekend, running a fever. Today is very nice so we got out of the house just for a little while to get some fresh air. Cailin picked the flowers and then give them to Nana (aka: my mom). The Jonquil Festival is the weekend of her birthday (March 14-16) at Old Washington State Park. Hopefully the weather will be nice and there will still be jonquils to see so we can go. You know, every small town has a festival of some sorts around here. The Watermelon Festival is in Hope, the Pine Tree Festival is in Dierks, and the Dinosaur Festival is in Nashville. If you are looking for a reason to come visit, I can find you a festival to attend. Today was the first day that she would get on Papa's tractor. She sure did enjoy it.

Moooo!

Look out the window and you will see what Cailin and Belle are looking at. The window sills are just the right height for Cailin to sit on.

Such a silly girl!!!
This weekend we found a house we think we would like to purchase. We are still waiting for someone to buy ours. They are showing it right now. Matthew is off today, for President's Day. I guess that is one of the perks of working for a lending agency. You get all the government holidays off.

Getting Settled

It has been a while since I was able to sit down and write. The last couple of weeks have been very busy and full of change. Our plan was to get down here on Feb 3rd but Matthew got the flu. Cailin and I spent the next 3 days trying to avoid getting the flu. We managed. We finally got loaded and got here on Wednesday. I took Cailin to the new daycare on Thursday, during playtime. There is one girl one month younger and several girls that are older. Only three boys out of 14 kids. The weekend was beautiful and spent most of it outside. There is plenty of room to roam here, plus there is the Mule to ride, and a swing set. We rode to the river and got to throw rocks in. However, she just wanted to step in the river and get water on her shoes. Belle is enjoying the country. The cows have intrigued her and keeping her on this side of the fence is a challenge. Today was Cailin's first day of school. She had a good day and took a two hour nap. Hooray!! It sure made the evening much easier. Sorry I don't have new pictures right now. I will work on that this weekend.
