Easter approaches...

And we are so blessed... in so many ways.  Thank you to our heavenly father for his unending love.

Marlow has just been a ball of energy lately!  We went to visit her great grandparents this week... my father's parents, and I didn't even get to talk with them.  We just chased her around and marveled at all the things that she does and all the things that capture her attention.  She still has such a great love for anything in nature and green.... specifically trees, plants and especially leaves!

She loves going every morning to water the flowers and our herb garden.  Then we sit and collect her favorite leaves.  She definitely has a mind of her own.  I've suggested leaves to her but she knows which ones she wants and which ones are just simply not interesting.  At least that's how she looks at me... like what was I thinking suggesting that one?

That girl is completely fascinating to me.... the things she does.  Recently we were on our way to church and she was just yelling at the top of her lungs and would not let up.  At first, I thought she wanted to hear another station on the radio because she certainly has her favorites.  It wasn't until the ride back home on that same stretch of road that we realized it was very very bumpy and she loved the sound of her voice as we trampled over the bumps.  Now she does it every time we go over a lot of bumps at once... it's so adorable.

Marlow loves her little car!  I love watching her get in and out of it on her own.  She struggles but she definitely has her daddy's determination and she just won't let up until she's sitting pretty.

These are Marlow's Easter photos.  She was such a sweetheart and loved the bunnies so much.  I've got to take her to a petting zoo.  I was so surprised how lovely she was with the bunnies.  Thank goodness she's learned "gentle!"... thanks to Bella. 




She tried to lay her head on the bunny to cuddle.  We have a giant fluffy soft white blanket that we lay on to take a break.  She kept saying "soft" to the bunnies.  She thought she could lay on them. :)

How sweet it is...




How sweet it is to be Marlow... seriously she's just so loved.  We had a wonderful day at a local flea market.  We spent the whole day with the great parents, grandparents and auntie and uncles... she's just so incredibly blessed with hugs and kisses all around her.  Her absolute favorite purchase was some squeaker shoes which of course seems to really drive Bella crazy!!

It's been way too long since I've posted.  I'm sure I'm behind on all the latest and greatest.  She's becoming more and more sweet everyday.  I just love how she hugs all her favorite toys and has learned to softly pet Bella.  It's incredibly handy now that she can basically tell me yes and no.  She loves saying hi and bye...or buh-bye to everyone.  Marlow has 8 teeth now!!  I'm shocked by how much she loves broccoli and mahi mahi.  Despite all the sweetness, I'm so lucky when I catch an actual smile in a photograph.  She's all about the serious frown...still. 

Here she is hanging out with grandma!
