Little Petunia, Pruning, Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed!?

I've been calling Tovi "Little Petunia" sometimes and she does looklike one particularly in this cute sleeper (thank you Emma!).

Taran decided to help with the yard work and prune the lavender some. He found the best method was to sit right on top of the plant. Now our bush looks like a little Taran nest. :)

Taran has never really been interested in napping in our bed but with Daddy out of town he often lounges on his pillow (he misses him). This morning I set Tovi down on our bed for a brief moment and apparently it was a very comfortable spot because she decided to take a nap.

The first spring Taja tulip

This morning Taran ran to me eagerly asking to see the yellow bud. I didn't know what he was talking about until I looked out the window and saw a lovely yellow tulip (originally from the Taja garden) was blooming. We went outside in the rain to take a look and then picked it. It has no scent but Taran has been enjoying carrying it around and smelling it anyway.

Our Sleeping Beauty

It's amazing how fast Tovi has been changing. The top picture is 2 months and the lower picture is 1 month. We've noticed she's is much fairer than Taran but she has the same dark long eye-lashes.

Goodmorning

Tovi's favorite thing

Goodnight Tovi

Tie-Dye Friday and Lounging

Connor has his own variation of casual Friday which we call Tie-dye Friday (although more often we say Tie-dye Fri-dye). Taran says everyday should be Tie-dye Friday.

A favorite past time is watching Sesame Street videos and lounging on the couch in mommy and daddy's room.

Taran the Builder

Taran has lately been very interested in making "buildings", "sculptures", and "Henry's Doghouse" (from a children's bedtime book we read to him). He's particularly good at stacking things including eleven rolls of toilet paper.
