Outside Playing!

The weather has been warm this week, so Kendall and I have been playing outside a lot. Usually we wake up, eat breakfast, and then head out for a walk, either around our neighborhood or at the park with the girls. Then Kendall takes her morning nap, we eat lunch, and then go back outside on the back porch to swing and collect leaves before her afternoon nap. This is her new hobby - leaf collecting. And most of the time she keeps them out of her mouth.

She also usually does a good job of staying on the porch: it's about a foot drop down into the grass. But this picture was taken right before she stepped off into the grass.

She was ok, though! She just rolled right over and climbed back up!

Here are some videos of her picking up leaves.

Studying the leaves she picked up.

Yesterday we were driving around running errands. I put in a CD I got this past fall when I went to the Women of Faith conference. It is one that my sister and I grew up listening to with my Mom: Sandi Patti's Friendship Company. I know - I'm a dork. But I put it in and Kendall loved it! She was smiling and dancing and clapping! Her favorite seemed to be the Sunday School Sing-Along. It made my heart happy. :)

I took a few pictures when we got home because I realized I haven't posted any pictures yet of her in her new car seat. And look! She's still smiling about Sandi Patti!
