The Sun!

Shockingly the sun decided to make an appearance for the afternoon! So the kids and I took advantage of it for a few minutes. It was quite chilly but at least it wasn't pouring down rain like it has been lately. Lucy got some bubbles from Grandpa Gene and Grandma Alice for her birthday. It was the perfect weather to go and play with them. It took her a bit to figure out how to blow nicely to actually get bubbles but by the end of the playtime she was doing great!

Zane motored up and down the sidewalk the entire time. He was in 7th heaven to be outside pedaling away.

Gwen has been looking with great longing at the tricycle for over a year now. Her time has come! She didn't even fuss too much about the helmet. Helmets are a deal breaker at our house so it was nice to not have to wage that war.


Calvin doesn't usually get to spend time with us out in the front yard. He tends to chase people and dogs that are on the sidewalk. And for all that I know he is a sissy, he can look and sound intimidating to other people. Anyway, we were headed out and rather than put him in the backyard I let him out into the garage. Up he hopped into the van and he did not budge the entire time. What a goof. He knows that if we are going somewhere we will likely be taking the van. So he was not moving! Dogs and people even walked by and he didn't move a muscle. What a goofy animal.
