Summer!!!

Finally the last 2 days we have received some sunshine and warm weather!!! This has been a very long spring, with mostly showers and little flowers. However, I do enjoy the rain as it reminds me of growing up in western Washington. We have been so busy lately just doing the whole daily family routine. I enjoy being busy though, I may have some slight OCD tendencies, which can prevent me from just taking it easy. Elizabeth has become quite the character! She is very "spirited" and keeps me on my toes any time she is not napping.
She is very into coloring, and actually is really good at it. A couple of weeks ago she surprised me when she was coloring in her sesame steet coloring book. She said "eyes" (over and over again) until I looked at her picture, she was coloring Elmo's eyes (almost completely in the lines!!!). I'm not sure how many kids her age really get the concept of trying to color inside of the lines, but it was one of those "my kid is a genius!" type moment. I will proceed to take full credit for the artistic side of her that is already starting to blossom :)
we have so many fin things planned or this summer and I can not wait! We will be building our garden tomorrow to kick off the summer festivities (so, wish us luck because we have learned before attempting this that neither my husband nor myself have a green thumb.).
one more thing... Elizabeth is almost sleeping through the night... Aaahahahahha!!! (that is my crazy lack of sleep self.)
