Wow! It is so beautiful outside today! I think we're supposed to get into the 60's! It takes a long time to warm up in Wisconsin, but now that we're pushing toward May I'm hopeful that more and more days will be nice out. We're finally seeing some buds on the trees as of last weekend!
Here's how Ava's hair greeted the day:
Isn't that amazing?
This evening the neighbors were all out chatting while someone donated a box of Popsicle to all the kids. This was Ava's first Popsicle, so I had to document. She handled it like a pro, and even managed to climb the ladder up into the club house with all the big kids while holding on to her dear treat.
After the frozen novelty, she watched a couple of the kids play in the sand box a while and then decided that she, too, should experience the sand between her toes. She peeled off her sandals and jumped right into the action. Last year, she wouldn't touch the stuff.
It's been a while since I've put an update on the blog. This is partly because I don't always get around to it, but mostly because our desktop ran out of room. After 7 years of photos stored, it finally said enough is enough. So since I am a know-nothing when it comes to computers, it took a while to remedy the problem. But now all the pics are moved to a secure and non disclosed location, and I can finally get the photos off the camera memory card and onto the hard drive.
So there are lots of fun pictures from the month of April to add to the blog, but now it's time to wrap up and go to sleep. Maybe tomorrow. But for now, I must include a little something about Owen. So here's O-boy's new high chair. Steve and Ava put it together last night, and as soon as we stuck the kid in the thing he got super excited.
And tomorrow: Owen's attempts at sitting.
A moment of confidence.
He fakes right.
Back to the left.
And he's down. Boy meets floor.
