Pretty Sarah's pretty blankie got pretty dirty so she had to put it *in there* to get washed! 

I think we had a pleasant morning, regardless. 

Except when Seth got a little too close for comfort.

Speaking of Seth.  He did the cutest thing at church yesterday.  Rich was asked, spur of the moment, to help pass the offering plate. Before I could do anything, Seth got up and followed his dear Papa down the aisle as the church family all snickered at his adorable-ness. 

He also did something today that made me very happy; he went #2 in the potty FINALLY after weeks and weeks of potty training.  I gave him 10 chocolate chips for his success, and we called Papa at work to tell him.  These are the days when my husband doesn't know what to expect when he gets a call during the work day.  *smiles*

I miss him today.

It's that time of year again, SPRING is for-certain in the air.  My friends and I have been bitten by the "spring cleaning" bug (you, too?) and ladies take bags of things to church to try to pass off to other families.  (I have had to learn how to politely refuse, LOL).  I cleaned the basement storage room today and threw away 3 bags of old stuff and garbage. 

After lunch, I took Seth and Sarah outside for some fresh air.  We collected half a dozen beautiful eggs from the coop. 

It is about 48 degrees today, but there is a lot of wind so we had to bundle up to keep warm.

They were watching nimble Socks cross on a log, and were concerned that he would fall in the stream.

After we played and explored and took care of the dog, it was time for naps.

Sarah and her nice clean blankie were reunited.

O happy home whose little ones are given

Early to Thee, in humble faith and prayer.

To Thee, their Friend, who from the heights of heaven

Guides them, and guards with more than mother's care!
