spring

Has it finally sprung? My kids seem to think so and I sure hope so!

We had our first official weekend outside as yesterday we had a balmy high of 85! Unbelievable for April. But today we are back to our normal/seasonal high of about 60.

This past weekend was Lindsey's first real adventure outside, which brings with it all kinds of new things to eat (dirt, sand, grass), choke on (rocks, wood chips, leaves), puddles to sit in, etc...

Within a few hours of being outside she had taken 3 major tumbles, as a result of her trying to pull herself up on things that really weren't suitable. Which essentially means I can't turn my back on her for a minute.

Phew... I forgot what a hard age this is!

I sure hope this girl starts walking soon or its going to be a long summer!

Lindsey discovered our play house for the first time. She loved hanging out in there.

Zach playing around with two of his buddies after his first soccer game of the spring season. Mark has taken on the roll of head coach, which I give him credit for, as maintaining control of 10, 7 year old boys is quite the challenge. But Zach loves it that his dad is the coach and seems to be quite proud, so that makes it all worth it.
