Oh-Bla-Di

A couple weekends ago, Matt was home on a rare Friday.  We spent the whole day enjoying the beautiful weather outside and helping Matt build a solar water heater for the pool.  Ava and I repotted a new flower for outside our front door and Matt put all his creative effort into warming up our pool early.

We bought Ava a Magna-Doodle for Christmas and she’s just now really able to use it.  She’s starting to hold the pen right and really scribbling up a storm.  Next, we’re on to crayons!

This weekend we got a real treat.  We went with the Hoffmans and the Freedmans to Boulder City to ride their restored train.  It was really beautiful and a really good time.  The train runs along a seven mile track and, once it moves up into the mountains a bit, it’s easy to imagine that you’re really on an old-fashioned train headed into the Wild West.

Good thing we got to take the coolest chic in the world with us on our trip.
