Mother's Day, Flowers and Peaches

Is it already almost the end of May? Wow this month has gone by so fast!! Spring has FINALLY arrived in Minnesota. The snow is gone, the weather is finally warmer and the birds have arrived. We finally got some of the feeders filled last week and the birds have just now discovered our back deck.

Mother's Day weekend was a lot of fun. Joy's family came down to visit and Tom took the opportunity to take some photos of the "Moms".

We also went to the nursery for some flower shopping for Mother's Day - a Mother's Day tradition in Joy's family. It was kind of cold and rainy but it was still inspiring seeing all the colorful flowers in bloom. We have so many yard projects to get to this summer - the garden, the patio, the deck - we can't wait to get working outside.

What is an Archibald blog update without a Lillianna update? She is growing by leaps and bounds these days. Has it really been almost 7 months?!? No crawling yet, but she does move her arms and legs when she has her "tummy time" so it probably won't be too much longer before she's mobile! She can sit on her own for VERY brief moments. She can now sit in her little bumbo seat and play with her toys.

We have also discovered that we have a VEGGIE kid (whose kid is this?!?). She absolutely loves veggies (sweet potato, squash, peas, beans) but fruit - not so much! So far we have tried bananas, pears, applesauce and peaches - all have been met with horrible (and kind of funny) faces and spitting the fruit out. I guess liking veggies is a good thing, right?

Mmmm..squash is yummy! A happy veggie meal.

Peaches - YUCK! The picture is a bit blurry, but you definitely get the message.

Daddy and Me

It's about time Daddy was in a picture, don't you think? Mommy got a new camera for Mother's Day so Dad can finally get in the picture instead of always being behind the camera.

I have a bad cold, but I still look cute and happy, don't I? I hope I feel better tomorrow because we're supposed to go to the nursery to look at all the plants and flowers. Mommy may even get some new plants for Mother's Day. Mom and Dad said they want to plant a tree for me, too.

Happy Mother's Day everyone!!
