Bring on the sun!

Happy Spring-time people!

Dare I say it - but I think the rain is behind us here in the bay area and we are starting to really enjoy spring-time around here. The sun is shining, the boys are logging in some hours at the water table, we are digging out the flip flops, and dusting off the bottles of sunscreen.

And little brother is a walking machine!




Daddy finished Ellis' train-table JUST in time for Christmas Ellis' Birthday him to fully appreciate the hard work put into it.  I'm talking weeks months of sawing, priming, painting coat after coat, shopping for the train tracks, making it the correct height, and adjusting the legs to the perfect angle so it won't topple over when big brother comes to take over.  Mike did a wonderful job and this will be something Ellis can forever keep and hopefully pass down to his son (my grandson!!!) one day.

The Easter bunny visited and big brother took this very seriously.  He found tons of eggs and even shared some with his brother. 

And by "share" I mean opened them up saw that they were golfish, cheerios, or puffs and gave them to brother. The chocolate candies? Well, he saved those for himself.

Yes, we are definitely enjoying the outdoors!!
