thankful for a big brother

Reece is so glad Mariemma can play more with him--I think the feeling is mutual. The past few days have been so beautiful outside--and we had cabin fever really bad. So to the sand box we go. Last summer ME just ate the sand but this year she like to play in it. She has learned to shovel sand and wipe her hands off with her shirt. Reece has really delighted in showing her how to dig in the sand. They played together yesterday for well over an hour just digging together.
Wipe off the sand!

Lunch outside on papa bear's table!

The two of them just working away!

Papa, R really wanted you to see these football guys. He got them for his birthday and totally loves them. He always picks the blue team to be his team.
