Wheelbarrow Fun!

Today we went out to Tyne Valley to visit Barb and Wes.

Piper had made a little Mother's Day card for Barb,

which we brought out to her with a plant for her garden.

Once again Piper was uber excited to be going to visit them

and couldn't wait to get out of our truck once we arrived.

She immediately ran up to Barb yelling,

"I got a card for you Barb!"

Then after giving Barb the card and plant,

she ran the entire length of their lawn

to land herself in Wes' arms. 

Yes.

Piper loves them!

During our visit I was sitting in the shade in the backyard nursing Elliotte.

Piper had been off somewhere with Barb

when I hear her calling out my name.

She was saying,

"Mommy, look at the princess.

I'm a princess."

Since you never know what to expect with my oldest daughter,

I was shaking my head waiting for her to make her appearance

from the other side of the house.

Princess indeed!

She arrived in her princess coach

(aka Wes' wheelbarrow)

with a smile on her face from ear to ear!

I'm not sure what made my heart sing the most.

Seeing my daughter so incredibly happy,

or remembering my grandfather and father taking me for similar

rides when I was Piper's age.

Love!

Miss Elliotte was as happy as a clam,

as usual!

She shared some smiles and a cuddle with Barb

before passing out in her arms. 

She's content to wait a little longer for her turn in the wheelbarrow.

The Princess!

Since when did the queen cart the princess around?
Humph.
We need to re-read some of her princess stories!

Elliotte is kicking up her usual fuss with Barb
