Snippets

A catch up post that covers little snippets of the last few weeks. 

About month old, the kittens started wandering around the deck. We had fun playing with them for a day or two and then they disappeared... 

Trying out our new sippy bowl from GVV

Aunty Corday snuggles were well enjoyed!

Spinning in her new dress from Nana.

Hazel and her dandelions, much to Hazel's enjoyment our backyard is full of them.

Making a wish 😍

Around when Jade was born Hazel became very clingy, especially when we were out and about. I'm pretty sure there was a bit of separation anxiety after needing to sleep at new places a few times in two months and her mommy taking care of another baby. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to help her and still be able to go out and about without her falling apart. After some thinking on the advice of "make her feel safe" I was able to come up with a Hazel Handle that I can put on my belt. For how simple this idea was it did wonders for her!!! Hazel used it lots for two weeks or so, but now uses it less and less. It gave her the little bit of security she needed, she could watch from a safe place without me holding her. Hazel is still slow to warm up to new settings and people, but we are seeing A LOT of progress and very thankful for it! 

Admiring all the shells she found in the new soil in the garden. 

We found the kittens back! Pirate had moved them into the woodshed, we were quite happy to have found them back!

Nicole and I organized a clothing swap for the ladies at church.

We had a lot of fun transforming the basement into a boutique, and the event went very well!

Hazel took a nap late that afternoon, and had a very hard time waking up, she would attempt to get up and then fall right back asleep.

She kinda slid onto the floor and laid there with her eye open, but dazed looking for a bit 😅

A nice sunny day for some Sunday morning pictures!

Jade watching all the activity from her Bumbo

Love the admiring eyes!

How the play space typically looks now... toys all over the mat because Hazel pulled them all out to show to Jade. 

Hazel holding and hugging our favorite kitty. The one that was the gentlest and easiest to catch.

A Jade and Mommy picture, trying to remember to take a few more of them.

The picture I took of the kittens before finding the two grey ones new homes. Very sad day as we were really enjoying them, but can't keep that many kittens as we have two other momma cats due in the next month or so... both black one are males and very hard to catch so they are a bit hard to give away.

Checking on the chickens, they like pecking at our boots. 

Set up the little pool and slide one sunny morning, kept Hazel very entertained despite the hose water being VERY cold.
