Owen & Lexie Lately

We have really beautiful landscaping around our home and I wanted to take advantage of it by taking some pictures of Owen and Lexie.  I can't believe how big they are both getting - Owen will be 5 soon and Lexie is 19 months.  Crazy!  Here are LOTS of pictures.  Note the many faces of Owen.  He may be shy in public, but don't let him fool you. He is definitely a ham!

Attempting to touch a butterfly. He is still the bug whisperer.

I'm really not sure why he pulled his shirt up.

"Then your face will surely show it..."

 

 

Our new patio

At our old place, we did not have any kind of yard/patio and with a very active 4 year old boy, it was getting hard not having an outside space of our own.  We are so blessed to have not 1, but 2 little patios at our new place. They are not anything huge, but since we are used to having nothing, it is a big deal for us.  There is enough room for Owen to ride his tricycle around in a little oval and enough room for drawing with chalk, blowing bubbles, having picnics, and setting up the little tent.  It is such a blessing to have that outside space!  Here are a few pictures from our outside adventures.

Lexie hitchin' a ride with Owen. She figured this out all by herself and Owen is usually a good sport and takes her around for a few laps.

This was a rainy day in January. Owen really wanted to go out there while it was raining, and because our patio is covered, we can! They ate breakfast out there and thought it was such a treat.
