Is there anything sweeter than a baby’s tiny little hands and feet? Oh, I just love to look at them.

I took these shots of our nephew Jackson over the weekend and I couldn’t resist sharing.

Look at his precious little feet!

And, his sweet baby hands…

SWOON!

Really, y’all…how precious are those little tiny toes and fingers? All so perfectly formed by God. It makes my heart smile just to see these sweet pictures and I had to share them here.

These are a few photos from our long weekend in South Georgia. (Just a little note: you can click on the photos to make them a little bit larger. I didn’t know that until Mickey told me last week, so I figured it was worth mentioning.)

This is our “niece”, Susie. She is Charlie & Liz’s dog and is the sweetest girl ever! She absolutely LOVES to chase tennis balls. Here she is in the yard wanting me to throw a ball for her. See how she has laid it down for me?

She’s waiting patiently for me to throw the ball for her.

I wish I had action shots of Susie and the tennis ball. The girl LOVES to play ball. She literally does not know the word “stop” when it comes to ball.

Here is Macey flying her Hello Kitty kite with directions from Daddy

Mariana and Macey check out the fish at the Flint Riverquarium in Albany

There were a couple of school groups at the Riverquarium at the same time we were there, but it wasn’t too crowded at all. Here is Macey checking out a rattlesnake with some kids from the school groups.

Mariana and Daddy check out the alligator

Of course, Macey had to see too.

I just had to snap some pictures of the sky on Friday. It was a gorgeous spring day and the sky was brilliant blue with beautiful clouds.

On Friday afternoon, Mickey and I took Macey to the All American Fun Park in Albany.

Macey played miniature golf for the first time ever and LOVED it!

She got a little instruction and some help on occasion from her Daddy, but she caught right on in no time!

I should also add that Macey got a HOLE IN ONE in her first ever round of mini golf! We didn’t see it, but she told us she already hit her ball on one hole and we found it in the cup. Pretty cool, huh?! She was thrilled!

We rode go-carts at the Fun Park too. Macey rode with her Daddy and they beat me around the track. (I let them…ha!!)

After the go-carts we rode bumper boats and it’s too bad I don’t have action shots of THAT because Macey rode with Mickey and they soaked me!! I got them some too, but not nearly like they got me.

A few cool sunset pictures from Friday. Isn’t God a magnificent Artist?!

The girls and I decided to make pine cone bird feeders this afternoon. We’ve been seeing a lot of birds around lately and thought it would be fun to make feeders for them. Or the squirrels. Whichever. These are some photos of our craft adventure.

All we could find were tiny pine cones like these in the tree

So, we decided to find limbs on the ground that had the cones still attached. Like this one:

Looks like the animals will be getting low fat peanut butter this time!

Spreading the peanut butter onto the cones:

Coated pinecones. YUM!

Time to get out the birdseed:

Sprinkling the birdseed onto the cones:

Roll it around to coat it well:

Check it out…it’s a birdy buffet!!

One of Macey’s bird feeders hanging on a tree in our front yard.

For Macey and me, this was a really fun little craft project. For Mariana, it was a tasty snack. Instead of spreading the peanut butter onto cones, she kept spooning it right into her mouth. She even tasted the birdseed.

Macey went outside and called for the birds to come and, shockingly, none came flocking to her. I guess her career as a bird whisperer isn’t a sure bet at this time. BUT, we went to the park and when we came back there were squirrels skittering around the tree near the feeders, so at least someone got to eat this evening.

Is there anything cuter than little feet in flip-flops?!

I just love the curled little toe on each foot

Itty bitty bunched up adorable toes

Goin’ for a “drive” to the park

Pollen coats our van
