Layers of Sand

We have all been enjoying our new back yard so much, especially Madi! The past two weeks, she has changed in so many positive ways! She has become more independent, talkative and more confident in herself that she can do things by herself! We are so excited as parents to see her growing in these ways. Being a premature baby she has always been somewhat smaller to the kids her age, and she has struggled a little bit with social skills. We have had a few of friends over since we have moved in, so it is just great to see her learning and playing with friends so well!


We kind of went crazy buying so many play toys for the backyard, but we wanted to give her a place to just 'let her hair down' and have fun!! She has spent many hours playing the dirt and I think it has become her second home! By the time she is ready to come in she is covered in dirt from head to toe, but I love it!


Grandma Graf came up yesterday to be with us for Madi's Birthday (which is on the 21st) and to have some fun! Madisen took grandma outside to show her the sandbox. Grandma loves to play with Madi and as you can tell hasn't grown up herself! ;) This sandbox is for young and old!
