A Day With Bella

Hi all, Kit here! Long time no blog. Since the rest of the girls were at camp today, Bella and I got to hang out for the afternoon.

"I can't believe you've never ridden a scooter before!" I laughed as I helped Bella get on. 

"I know, I know. I've just never had the opportunity to learn before!" she smiled. 

"Don't worry, I'll be here every step of the way," I assured her.  

"Put your hands there to steer, and then kick off." I said, showing Bella where to put her hands and feet. 

"Thanks!" she replied happily. 

"You're doing it!" I let go of the handlebars after guiding her down the street for some time.

"I'm doing it - I'm doing it!!" Bella squealed. 

In all the excitement, neither one of us noticed where Bella was heading - straight for a rock! 

"Look out!" I yelled, but it was too late. 

Bella crashed to the ground, face-first. 

"Ow." I heard her say. 

"Let me help you up," I said, rushing over. 

"Thanks," Bella replied, dusting herself off. "Now c'mon, help me get back on!"

"The only way for me to learn is to try again!" she laughed as I helped her onto the scooter. 

I was a little surprised, considering scootering isn't typically one of Bella's favorite pastimes, but I admired her determination. By the end of the day, she was nearly a pro! 

We walked back to our house and sat down on the bench, talking and laughing. 

Until next time! :)

Spring Snow

Kit here. First of all, we're really sorry for not posting much. We've just been really busy lately. Second, happy Saturday! Enjoy these pictures Caroline took of me at the park. 

Even though it's March, there is still snow on the ground!

Hope you liked them!

{ Kit's Poem }

Hello! This morning I was feeling kind of artsy, so I decided to write a poem. When I read it to Caroline she took me outside for some pictures. We hope you like it!

This poem is called: My Camera

I hide behind you, 

Day and night,

Letting you capture my life in frozen time. 

From years ago I can look back,

At each dream,

Each wish,

Each wanting,

Each smile,

And I remember.

I remember when I was scared of the dark,

And hid under the covers,

Until morning.

I remember when I waited up for what felt like forever,

On Christmas Eve,

Waiting,

Then falling asleep.

I remember the games of hide-and-go-seek,

Where every time I lost,

But always loved to play. 

You tucked each moment away,

For me to look at in time,

So I'd remember how much fun,

And how many smiles,

And how much laughter,

Was recorded.

Maybe my life isn't all fun and games,

No one's perfect you know,

But this camera that I've had,

And these memories I've created,

Built me a life to love.
