A few highlights

We are so lucky to even have dirt so we decided to take advantage of it. We planted some petunias, marigolds, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and basil. I'm actually terrible with plants, I even kill cactus but I got very excited about this so let's see how it goes! Leah loved helping us out, she kindly "moved" the dirt all over the yard.

This was the funniest thing. Leah is always asking us to put Paige places. She was begging me to put Paige in this doll stroller. Paige was very content but it was hilarious, especially when Leah tried to push her around.

My very favorite thing about living here in New York is our proximity to the beach. Doug had Friday off last minute so we decided to take off. We started with a running along the boardwalk, they have a four-mile path that we followed. It was perfect running weather. After that we hung out on the beach for a couple hours. The water was way too cold to swim but it got us stoaked for the summer.
Leah looked super cute. She wouldn't walk in the sand for some reason and kept calling it "wee-wee." I have no idea why.  Paige was very relaxed, who wouldn't be with the sound of the waves? 
 The Girls love the jogging stroller. 

Paige hit a couple milestones this week. She rolled over- of course we missed it.  We were doing laundry and came back to find Paige here!
She also started eating cereal and is such a great eater. As far as she's concerned, we're not feeding her fast enough.  And I thought this was a cute picture of Leah devouring her apple.

Yay for gardens and the beach and nice weather and Paige rolling over! How exciting! I think my baby is doing somersaults already, but i think living in your private pool makes it pretty easy.
