Esmeralda has some fun

Esmeralda and I have been having some fun at home lately.

Here's what we've been up to!

Esmeralda having a "hopping" good time at Easter!

Making breadsticks...

learning to knead the dough...

and finally mastering it!

Picking flowers...her new favorite pastime.

I finally bought her some "good" watercolor
paper so that we could paint together...

her finished work.

We had Ajay, from preschool, over for dinner
one night while his mom and dad went out...

he loved the fruit...

so did Esmeralda.

And it wouldn't be a good blog without the

"mom take my picture" picture.

A little late coming...but updated!!

The cousins were at Gramma's house for Valentine's Day weekend so we went too! We had so much fun with them. We went for a walk around Gramma's neighborhood and found lots of animals and heard lots of birds (I think the kids can all recognize the Chickadee now...thanks Gma Frances!). We also decorated cupcakes and cookies then we made valentines. The last few pictures are of Esmeralda with her Ergo dolly carrier, which is the same brand of carrier I still use to carry her! And last but not least some artistic chalk drawings by Miguel...and Esmeralda!

Some holiday singing and a 3rd birthday!!

Esmeralda's preschool held a family feast and the kids sang some

Christmas songs. My favorite is the "Merry Hula" song, but the

video was too big to upload so I've loaded "Jingle Bells" instead.

Then we celebrated Esmeralda's 3rd birthday with family, I think

everyone had a good time. And last is Esmeralda helping me

wrap some Christmas presents.

Helping me get ready to sew blankets to sell at the holiday bazaar I taught her how to scoop and throw leaves...so much fun

I couldn't resist the opportunity to get school pictures taken...even though she's only in preschool. LOVE IT!!
