Just the last few days around here...

Don't get me wrong, I love reading to Kate...but I am so glad that these days she is also content now to read by herself.
This past weekend was really nice weather here so I had the front door open. But with a dog and small child I had to gate it so they wouldn't go wandering out....Lucy and Kate played and sat by the door the whole time it was open! (and don't worry, we had just spent a whole hour outside playing so it wasn't like I was teasing them with the door open to the pretty weather)
