Spring has sprung!

Yesterday the Doodle comes into the house with his hand in a fist. Says "Dad, look at this fly!" Opens his hand. Bee flies out. Nice.

Climbing the "snake" at the ladder park:



Here's the Doodle climbing one of the ladders:



With little sister right behind him!



She was scampering up the whole thing by herself. Daddy was hanging on to her in case she fell, but she did all the climbing by herself.



Sweet Frances was smitten with this little bear this afternoon. It was Craig's when he was a baby. It is darling and squeaks when you squeeze it.



Great things about spring:

-Daylight Savings Time! We can actually do things outdoors after dinner. Like go for walks.
-Strawberry shortcake. Strawberries generally.
-Sandals. Shorts. Skirts.
-Daffodils. Next year we will have some at this house. I love them.
