We've been busy!

It's been a while since my last post, we have been pretty busy. Mike is taking 4 classes, three are art classes that require him to create and spend lots of time in the studio. But we still manage to spend quality time as a family. It's so important to us to be able to have fun and unwind together. Mike is a GREAT Cook and is always making special treats and dinners for Lilly and I. Mike made us butterfinger blizzards, and Lilly LOVED it. She got to have the first taste and was hooked.
This picture Mike is pretending to be a robot :) Lilly loves robots for some reason... We went to the Walter Wick exhibit, it was AWESOME! If you like his I Spy books, you'll love this exhibit. Displayed are actual models that were created for the books - so cool to see how it all comes together. Walter Wick has an amazing creative mind and it was fun to see Lilly step into his world for a while. I deffiantly would like to purchase more of his books. He kind of like the old Where's Waldo, but so much more. We LOVE Walter Wick, maybe someday Mike will work for him..... (a girl can dream, right) :)
The weather has been super nice so we've been spending 90% of our time outside in our backyard. I love our backyard. It's big, the grass is green and it's a nice oasis from the real world. I cleanned up Lilly's picnic table and we've been having picnic's, playing in sand and rocks, and using our imaginations. I really am lucky to be able to spend my days at home with Lilly. Being a mother is such a joy. We transplanted our bean plants from the greenhouse to outside. The probably wont make it, but they were overtaking the entire greenhouse. So we had fun planting them and playing in the dirt. Mike decided to read Lilly all of our library books one evening and Lilly was so tired she fell asleep while listening. I think she's had a busy week :)
