Daddy's Helper

My sweet, sweet baby girl has been daddy's biggest helper this summer. She asks to work outside with daddy all the time. Even if dad isn't working she makes me go outside so we can work together. She is so confident and capable for a little 4 year old. There's nothing she won't do. She'll come home from school and run out to shovel dirt in her pretty dress. She has her own kid sized gardening gloves, shovel and "wheel barrel".
She has helped daddy build a wall as a fence, shovel dirt and gravel (from the top of the pile is her favorite way), has swept and powerwashed. She has learned how to change drill bits, use a level and can build a fence. She hauled 20 fence pickets and a 5 lb box of nails. She helps pick up tree trimmings. Once daddy was tired after bundling branched and lied down in the driveway. "Come on dad" Kaia said "it's not sleepy time, let's keep working"... so we built a fence. This girl is strong and confident. She's something special!

Oh the arbs

Ari,

you are a little sweetheart! You've learned to crawl and are on the move constantly. Going to a restaurant with you is completely exhausting! You are the happiest sweetest little guy! You love to be held and cuddled. You're willing to go to anyone who makes you smile. You eat constantly, and there's really nothing that you don't like so far. You won't let anyone clip your nails nails but otherwise you're a pretty easy baby. You finally started to sleep through the night so mom is far less sleep deprived when we hang out. You babble a little, but so far have been far more concerned with crawling. I adore you sweet boy!
