Forgot to add these! Lucy and Bea spent a warm afternoon up at Farmers’ Park with their friends Arie and Kaia. We had just gotten over a late snowfall, and the kids were actually able to find some snow to play with after wading around in the brook on a 75 degree day. The kids played hard, did a lot of exploring, and the water was so nice and cold! I forgot my camera, so phone pics had to do…even the one with my finger in the way!
Springtime! The kids are so happy. School is almost done, the snow is finally gone, and the windows are open. Bring on the pizza farm, backyard grilling, gardening, bike rides to the park, and eventually some swimming.
Lucy had her Kindergarten orientation, so she’s ready to go! How exciting. I can’t believe the little wiggler is starting school in a few months. It seems like a couple of years ago I helped see Molly off on her first day. Time flies. Soon it will be Bea. Wow.
Looks like proper spring weather is imminent! I cannot recall getting snowy weather so late into April. Bring on the mushy season of mudpies and spring planting!
A giant sheet of cardboard makes for a fun, spacious canvas for coloring. Once they were done, we simply flipped it over. Then the cat vomited on it, and it had to go away. 
Bea, in the bath!
On a rainy (and snowy) home day, sometimes you have to break out the emergency foam crown and wand kits!
Saturday morning, a trip to the Blue Heron for our favorite: maple oatmeal scones, lemonade, and a dark roast pour-over for dad. After a pic of each of the three lovelies, Lucy took one of me! Not bad, Luce!
At the Earth Day celebration, Lucy and Bea found some friends.
My sister, who takes great photos, got herself a fancy new camera. She was kind enough to send her old one my way. Going from a tiny point and shoot to a DSLR will take some getting used to, and I’m slowly learning how to use it. Here’s the first batch of photos, some by me, some by Jamie. I’m excited to get better at taking photos of these kids!
Now, let’s have some springtime, please!
