Enjoying Springtime

The weather has warmed and activity has picked up in the McBride backyard!  Clyde (and assistant Aiden) are back to work in the yard and Audra and Mom love to come outside to visit with Kona.  The tough part is bringing Aiden back inside without him throwing a fit.

Aiden loves to run around and play out back.

Audra still spends most of her time inside, but she has fun!

Clyde's new riding boots arrived!  Thanks, Mom and Dad!

They're beautiful!  He cannot wait to break them in.

There's nothing like a cool drink after a day outside.  Thanks for the cups, Mimi!

Aiden and Kona are up to their old tricks.  Daddy has to unclog the fountain's filter much more often when these two are around it!

Though the iPad was a gift from Clyde to me, Aiden seems to think it's his.  He is gracious enough to try to show Audra the game he's playing.

Audra loves "playing" with her toys.  Thank you Grandma and Grandpa... it's still a hit!

Aiden coaches Audra through her "tummy time".

Hugs and Kisses

Baby Audra has grown on her big brother, and he's generous with his hugs and kisses.  As he now climbs in her crib with her--there is officially no place I can put her where he cannot get to her!

Audra loves to smile--Aiden usually gets a big one from her!

Aiden loves to "hold" his baby sister.

Audra was crying while I folded laundry.  I heard "Mama!", and found Aiden trying to console her and calling for help.

Aiden thinks its funny to squish noses while kissing.

Snuggling with Daddy is the best.

Aiden loves her tiny feet!

A Good Place to Rest Your Head

Sometimes it feels as if the action is non-stop, but Aiden and Audra remind us how important it is to rest.  Finding a good place to rest your head isn't too difficult to do around here!

Aiden loves to be on Dad's shoulders to play... this time he got tuckered out and fell right to sleep!

Audra is extra comfy lying with Ciala.

Lauren helps Audra fight off a nap...

Audra likes to keep her food nearby as she rests.

 

Aiden, Audra and I all took a little nap.  When I woke up, they were spooning.

Aiden tries to give Audra her pacifier as she tries to nap.

Ahhhh, rest.

Sweet dreams and a smile.

What a difference two years makes!

 

Whew!  Looking at all those pictures sure makes me sleepy!
