Hello, Spring!

…and thank goodness it isn’t summer yet!  We have had some rain.  We have even had some snow!?  We have had some cool days.  But we have had some PERFECT days, too.  And I am ready for a few more of those before the hot humidity of summer comes with little relief.  Saturday was pretty much perfection – sunny; not hot, but not cool; shorts if you like them, but a jacket in the evening; and only the slightest hint of a breeze.  We were outside a lot.  Jeremy biked to his parents’ house, and we met him there.  We hung out awhile before heading home for naps.  Then, in the evening we went to dig in the sand, swing, and eat fire-roasted hot dogs at my parents’ house.  To top the evening off, Jeremy and I went outside to enjoy a small fire while the little ones slept in their beds.  This week (after the rain) looks to be beautiful, too.  And I am thankful.

On some kid notes…. The other day, I went to wake Madison up from a nap (sometimes I have to do that).  When I opened the door, her light was on, she was not in her bed, and she was not playing.  Nope, this is what I saw…

I am not sure when she went there, but she had brought all the sleeping necessities.  Sometimes, you just need a change of scenery.

Ellie practices Grandpa Yoh’s motto, “Safety First!”  at all times:

And finally, the sisters bond at all times of the day.  This was just before baths.  Jeremy was outside working on creating a garden (yep, we are going to attempt to live off the land!).  They could see him from the window and yelled (over and over again), “Hi, Hi” –Ellie and “Hi, Daddy!” –Madison.  It was cute enough for a picture for sure!
