First, a visit to the sycamore. It is more than twice her height now.
Then a walk by the river with moonshine.
Grandpa loves this.
Bluebells peaking.

Wait, that’s not Iulie, that’s Leiden. Iulie’s brother came along to drop her off for a visit to bubby and “strong grandpa.”
And we had a morning fire the next morning since it was under 40.
We made Captain Crunch pancakes. Well one anyway.
The dogs were amused.
We did a chore. Iulie is an excellent helper.
Then we carved some pumpkins…ultimately named Gerald (the big guy) and Jerome.
We separated the seeds.
We checked out the tree.
We visited Bubby at work.
Leiden came to retrieve his sister too.
The fork…Iulie and I did lots of cooking together.
Bubby and Iulie.

returning from a walk
Iulie has spent lots of time with us this summer. Something that we cherish. She is all farm girl, taking walks, picking vegetables in the garden, visiting the chickens, and playing with the dogs.
Iulie named the poulets: marshmallow, chocolate, graham and cracker.
We are reading The Book of Three together this summer.
Goofball.
But under the soon to be second grader is a little girl.

Life goes on, especially if you are a little girl. We celebrated Iulie’s birthday in the kitchen. But first some quality time with bubbie recharging batteries.
The morning came bright and early.
After presents at home we headed over to see great grandma and share some homemade strawberry cake.

The Easter bunny did make an appearance.
There were baskets to discover and eggs to find!
After the hunt, we enjoyed the beautiful weather outside and made chalk pictures of our own.
Don’t forget to count the loot!
Now who exactly is the Easter bunny again?!
We also dyed some eggies. The girls from the palace were happy to oblige.
Even the puppy was pooped!
But a good night’s sleep after several stories got us all rested up for pancakes in the morning.
The eggs became deviled.
While the angel checked on her tree. (Tiny tiny leaves.)
We also tiptoed through the bluebells. Well kinda.
Come again, little one.
