changes

With a little (okay a lot of) help, we have a new look. What do you think? It's kind of ridiculous how excited I am right now. I know, I should get out more :-) !!

5-4-3-2-1

That's the ages of our kidlets (at least until Olivia's birthday in July). How precious are they!?!

Finally!

The sun finally came out this morning, so what else could we do but head to Mill Lake. Lots of playground, trails to ride bikes on, water beckoning little people to do some splashing (and making mommies & grandmas nervous - especially on the boardwalk), wildlife to see, flowers to pick (and decorate helmuts with), snacks to eat, cousins to ride teeter-totters with...what a great morning. It was so nice to feel warm and not attribute the feeling to a hotflash!!
I just love these five little people in my life. There's literally never a dull moment when they're around!
Another lovely aspect of the morning was a quick stop for drinks from my favorite coffee shop - Afterthoughts. For me, it's often a forethought :)

We saw some very new residents of the park - baby ducklings trying out the water...

...what do you see out there Malcolm?

Oh, baby goslings enjoying a family swim!

Even the turtles were out today, enjoying the first sunshine in awhile.

We happily soaked up the sunshine & warmth (so long awaited). How lucky am I that this was my day off, & I could be there too!
