Welcome to Prarie Pi. This blog exists to journal and document the memories that our family experiences. Pi is "an amount of type that has been jumbled or thrown together at random." We hope to assemble in words and pictures the daily thoughts and activities that happen in our household. We do this to help those that are distant from us get a glimpse into our days so that the miles that separate us won't keep us apart.

Tea With Coco


026
I was down the basement this morning going over school with Buttercup and when I came upstairs, I found this lovely surprise.
027
I had been invited to a tea party and there were four neatly wrapped presents all for me.
029
My party host was so beautiful and radiant and excited and happy to be with me!!
032
She served brownies and apple slices and used her tiny knife so carefully!!!  We then opened the presents which happened to all be books and we ended our party reading stories!!
Wow.....I love these special surprises!!!

Park Fun!


010
Today, we had our first 2015 park visit.
011
This park is our favorite and it received a few updates....
014
....so, it seemed cleaner and nicer.
016
Coco loved the monkey bars...
023
....and was showing me the extra muscle she has acquired through all her gymnastics lessons!
026
The trees are in full bloom here....

034
...and Nacho liked the "natural" places to climb and found the nearest trees to play in.
039
Anton always needed me to be at the bottom of the slide for him to go down, even though he went pretty slow.
041
042
043

045
It was a fun morning and it felt good to be visiting parks again after having such a long winter break from them!!
