Hints of Spring!

We have been having the most amazing February, many dry days in the fifties have been drawing us outside more and more.  And Norah is just loving it!  She could spend hours exploring the nooks and crannies of our yard, which has inspired us to pick up the 'Bishop Bombs' more often!  The daffodils are blooming, the trees are budding pink and white, little leaves are getting ready to sprout everywhere!  I just love this time of year and it is even more fun to share it with such an enthusiastic explorer!  She is really teaching me to take my time and enjoy every little details!  Who couldn't use a little more of that!

Catch me if you can Daddy!

Girl on the go!  
She's always looking down to see what's underfoot.  
She's really pretty careful... most of the time!

Petting the daffodils.
It's pretty hard to look and not touch when daffodils are so inviting!
I still have to resist plucking them from the ground!

ROCKS!

Check out those little curls... 
I think she may have inherited something else from her dad!

Doggie!

Norah and Bishop are good buddies.  Bishop takes all Norah's abuse and Norah loves to share her Cherrio's with Bishop.  All about give and take!

Growing Girl

Norah has been a very busy little girl lately.  She loves to be outside exploring, picking up leaves, sticks, pine cones and rocks.  We have been taking little hikes around the block, meeting the neighbors.  It's amazing how much there is to explore in our own back yard!



Check this out!

Norah loves to read books.  She's even starting to say 'Book!'  
She crawls right up in your lap when you ask her if you want to read a book.  
Gotta say, it's one of my favorite things having her curled up in my lap.

Norah likes to hang out on the deck. 
 Check out her big girl hiking boots!



Reading with Bishop

Norah took her first real digger in the driveway, landed face first.  
But this tough little cookie only cried for a minute, then it was on to the next thing!  
 I think it was harder for me than it was for her!  That's my girl!
