We experienced many joyous things this last half of April. Some were planned but most were not. The weather seems to have turned for good, though we know not to hold our breath about that. This is central Ohio after all.
On a beautiful night, Kate, Maya and I enjoyed a wonderful Spring walk. After we strung a bunch of white string all over our yard, that is.
 |
| White stringed. Is there such a thing? |
 |
| Kate found a love of blowing dandelions. I can't blame her. |
 |
| She also found a love of tree snow... |
 |
...which we shook down from one of these crabapple trees
near the library. |
Because it's Spring and we've had such amazing weather, we decided to pick up some tulips to brighten up our kitchen. As soon as we got home, my budding little florist got to work. She snipped all the tulips to fit into two jars. I later saw where she put the second jar and I think I felt my heart smile.
 |
| She knows what she's doing. |
 |
| Pulling the leaves off of the tulips. |
 |
| And snipping them down to size by 1-1.5" little snips. |
 |
| The tulip stems where everywhere but it was well worth it! |
 |
| Kate had placed the second little jar in her play kitchen. |
 |
| I mean. Seriously. I just felt my heart smile again...months later. |
As a horticulture major from Virginia Tech, seeing this warmed my soul!
In other Second Half of April news, Maya continues to be the cutest but messiest little love and Kate has put together and entire puzzle of the U.S. of A., by herself.
 |
| Littlest love! |
 |
| I was super impressed and proud of my big girl! |
Last but not least, I found this little series of photos on my phone that Kate took one day after her gymnastics class. I know I will totally miss these baby wearing days one day. For now, I will revel and cherish and soak it all in. It's already going by way too fast.
 |
| Looking for sis! Snug as a bug! |
 |
| Sister Bear is the best! |
 |
| So is Mama! |
I never had a baby wearing wrap for Kate, so I didn't have a clue of how amazing they are, but they are just that. I wrapped Maya during all of Kate's gymnastics classes and put her blanket right were her head would lay. Most of the time she was able to take a little snooze.
If ever there are any more Hendricks children in this household, they will be wrapped until they can unwrap themselves. #imeanit
Speaking of wrapping, that wraps up our month of April. Now on to May!
