While Jed was away we kept Lucy and Emma this past weekend and had lots of activities going on. Emma composed some of her own music and here is a picture of Lucy trying to copy her at the piano.
We did many things like bake cookies, make big crayons from all of the bits and pieces we have accumulated, blew bubbles, chased chickens, collected eggs, played games, had pizza with Joe and Sheri, some old friends and also visited Kyla's memorial to take her some flowers.
This activity was very fun. We just broke and mixed up the crayons bits after taking off the paper and put them in baking tins and baked at 170 degrees until they melted. After letting them sit to harden for about an hour we had mixed up colors.
Emma blew bubbles for Lucy outside until she ran out of breath. Then "Old Grandma" had to take over while the girls chased and popped them.
Emma made a paper Easter egg to hang with the flowers she and Lucy picked out for their mommy. Emma picked the carnations and Lucy picked the color, "lellow" as she says.
Outside at Springfield Memorial Gardens. Cute aren't they?

That last picture is beautiful! Goose looks so impish, and little Emmy looks so grown-up! I'm glad they're such good sisters! Can't stand seeing them grow up so fast though!
Very cute pictures, I love the last one also! It is terrible how big they're getting, but they are still so much fun!
Isn't it hard to watch them grow so quickly? As a grandma now I guess I realize how fast it really does go and I just want to hold on to their childhood antics, etc., etc. I'm getting teary-eyed just thinking about it. I guess it just makes one realize how short life really is! And Lucy, Lucy reminds me of our Emily when she was little. Especially the second-to-last picture. What beautiful girls they are! I'm envious you get to be so close to them. They'll be grateful for it later on too. I spent a LOT of time with my grandparents and those are my fondest memories...
