This day has been so very, very filled with gifts and blessings! For some reason, I was so touched by each one of my children as a special, unique gift today...and the gift of having a baby in the house again! The weather today was so beautiful....especially for Pittsburgh in February! I've always said, that I believe that God gives us days like today in the middle of winter as special gifts...to remind us of His faithfulness....that Spring ALWAYS follows Winter...the seasons are unchanging....and so is He...the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow. Our high temperature was 64 degrees! And, did we take advantage of it! Today was another "Ty Day" as well....and we had him outside almost more than he was inside! 
Ty has 'graduated' to the clip-on toddler chair at the table with us..he loves it!
It looked like it might rain this morning, so I put Ty in the carrier, put raincoats on the little ones, grabbed my umbrella and off we went for a walk. I wasn't letting anything keep me inside today! We saw green garbage trucks, trolleys, birds and squirrels nests...and a water main break. ( Ronnie pointed that out, he was intriqued)
What a blessing it is to homeschool! I had to get a shot of this...where else can you do your geometry and lit with a sleepy cat on your lap?!
This is typical...Ty was playing, Anna was sitting next to him playing doll house, Ronnie was doing his math, and I was sitting on the floor with them doing some natural food ordering online. When Ty is here, he just fits right in!
This is so special to me! This was my great-grandmothers rocker. It sat on my Gram's front porch ( my Baba lived with my Gram) and between Baba and Gram....many, many babies and sleepy toddlers have been rocked in this chair! The only babies that my gram didn't rock at all , are Anna and Ty....you can bet I'll be rocking Ty a lot this summer on the deck in the shade of our big oak tree!
Today, though, Anna and I took turns rocking Ty in Baba's chair.
Ronnie and Anna had so much fun today! They rode their bikes, played in the yard and were swinging on the swingset....Anna learned to petal!
Ty got to swing, too! We got this toddler swing when Ronnie was a baby at the old house, then hung it here when we moved....Anna was only 1 year old, and she loved to swing. (still does) Now Ty gets to enjoy it too! And there is never a shortage of hands to push him or play with him around here!
Here he comes! Look at that face!
The closer he came, the more he laughed!
Everyone wanted a turn with Ty!
We all have so much fun with him!I pureed for Ty part of what we had for dinner...I just pureed some brown rice and carrots for him.....he loved it! He looked so funny "chewing" with no teeth!

It was hard for Todd a little bit, because everytime Ron would talk, Ty would swing his head to see him!
~Like I said...a day of gifts and blessings! After Todd and Ty left, we had a cubscout den meeting here. It was fun....our cubmaster came and told the boys all about camp and different activities coming up in the summer. The boys have already earned their Tiger badges, and will be officially "wolves" in May. It was a very full day, but so full of blessings! I am tired! Another full day tomorrow as well...so I'm off to bed! I hope your days are full of gifts and blessings, too! ~Sue~
