Spring Into Spring

Spring.  It really feels like Spring this week.  We've had a little rain (spring) but every day has had wonderous outdoor moments.  I just love that.  Spring makes up for the fact that we've been sick and very little cooking or cleaning has occurred around here.  In celebration I've been eating lots of sweets.  I really need to find a better way to celebrate.

As I said, we've had a little sickness around here.  It has hit Vivien pretty hard and she hasn't been in a great mood.  I know it might be kinda mean to take pictures of a sad baby, but she's just so cute.

 Being outside has helped Vivien's mood a lot.  Don't you just love that Vivien and Daddy have the exact same expression on their faces in this pic.  I wonder if they are related...  On a side note, is there anything more attractive than seeing your husband outside playing with the kids.  Really, I just love him.

 Finally we've been getting some backyard time in!

 Some people have taken advantage of that by covering themselves from head to toe in mud.  Juliet just can not resist a major art project, in any form.

 We took the training wheels off of Cole's bike (finally) and he immediately started cruising around.  He's working on a few glitches, you know just little things like turning and stopping.  But he's doing great.

 Vivien likes nothing better than getting outside and taking off as fast as she can go.  The girl is fast.

And there she goes!  I better catch up with her.
