What a beautiful weekend! Meigou was the biggest helper in letting Danny & I work in the garden. Kaelah was on a blanket in the shade and the dog would entertain her by chasing a ball or chewing on a toy right next to her. Meanwhile, the adults got to look like murderers burying dead bodies by the way we were using a pick ax to break up the dirt to put in the last of four planter boxes. Then the humans got in Dan's truck, went to Kaelah's first soccer game (great job, Eric, Stewart, Mark & Dave!), and then it took us four hours to go around town collecting supplies and plants. Oh, at the Flower Bin one of the women working there looks a lot like Kaelah's aunt Kendra. Kaelah was so excited to see this person that she held her arms out to her... and Danny & I had quite a hard time convincing Kaelah to come home with us! I'm glad we're planning a trip to UT next month or else I may not have had the heart to leave the store so soon!
Meigou was overjoyed to see us come home & for some reason Kaelah has decided she doesn't need afternoon naps anymore. Luckily she enjoyed being outside and Meigou was still willing to sit next to her while Danny & I planted our veggies (tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, spinach, and yams) and filled up our Wall-O-Waters. (That will be half of the garden b/c we are saving the other half for planting in May.) Now we just need to lay down the weed barrier, place the wood chips, & construct some sort of fence to keep Meigou & her friends out of the dirt. But that will have to wait until next Saturday. FYI: Kaelah's sunscreen cost 3x the price of ours & seems to work better too. We're burned and she's not. (:
Here are some pictures of 9-month-old Kaelah from today (Sunday). We girls did decide to hang out in the shade a bit at Meigou's request. Thanks, Imelda, for the adorable spring dress! I realized it matches the color we've painted the exterior of the house!
