Spring

As you know, we love winter around here. But that's only part of the picture. The whole truth is that we love every season. When the end of one comes, we're happy and ready to embrace the next. We feel equally excited about welcoming spring, summer, fall and winter and every season we remark about how we could never live someplace that didn't experience all of the seasons in all of their glory. So, yes, we do love winter, but we've have three months of winter, and now it's time for spring. Yeah!!! Spring, we love you. You give us so many new things to do. For example...

Riding our new bikes...well, actually Anna's is Noah's old bike, but she loves it so who cares. We're excited to try taking Noah's training wheels off of his new bike and letting him ride free of them. We're sure he can do it with just a little practice, and we want to have him try before he realizes the danger and gets scared.



...playing in our new sandbox...


...playing on the equipment at Tommy's with Dad...


...running on the trail with Dad...


...walking with sticks and Dad...

...cathching Anna as she goes down the slide...

...loving all things and sliding on the big slide "all by myself!...

...lovingly hugging Anna and throwing stones into the pond...

...trying new things at Tommy's that we didn't even think of trying last year...

...climbing and swinging in the great wide open with the sun on our faces...

...trying more new things that we weren't able to do last year...
