Let the music move you

Even though I don't know how the guitar works, I can still pull off the artistry here. 

Tent time

We can't really travel anywhere, but we can build a new hideout in the living room and relax in here for a mini vacation. Look, it even comes with oversized and cuddly insects! 

Yoga practice

I'm following everything this instructor says, so why does Emma seem like she's the more relaxed of the two of us?

Building the bird feeder

Since we're spending more time at home, Dad and I decided to build a new bird feeder for outside our window. Dad even let me use the drill. I know, I thought it was a bad idea too. 

But the final product turned out pretty awesome. 

The birds seem to like it too!

The wind in my hair

I'm ready for this warm weather thing to really take off already. 

Morning reading

It's not the book that matters, it's the front-row seat that's the real value here.

April showers song

And now, some hopeful music to help you get through the week. 

Easter portraits

Just because we're staying at home, that doesn't mean we can't dress up fancy and have a special Easter celebration on our own. 

However, all the fancy can't get rid of all the crazy. That's just science. 

Easter egg time

Usually we get to dye our eggs with Tommy and Shane at Pop's house in Pennsylvania, but we had to change that up a little this year. The eggs weren't as crazy as Pop makes them, but we held our own. And Emma's fingers got a little stained, which is what's really important.

Girl in the bubble

When I finally get my alt-rock band together, this will be our first album cover.

Yeah, I know we already did this. Doesn't matter, it always looks cool.

Walk in the woods

We took a little break from the house recently for a safe and secluded walk at a nearby park. There's not a lot of green out yet, but there is more than what our couch has. 

Emma was very happy with the change of scenery but less excited by the expectation to be camera ready. 

But it was a really great escape. There were beautiful beds of flowers and some peaceful ponds to help relax us. We'll be back again soon. 

Our substitute teacher

I still don't really want to do my language arts work, but I am loving the attention I get from home school's new teacher's assistant.
