Springtime?????

Apologies for the lack of updates. Spring is the busiest time of year for me. So as soon as Henry masters his fine motor and keyboarding skills, he can write the blog.

Until then, it's me!

A few weeks ago a good friend entrusted me with her children as she and her husband moved across town. When she called out for help, I happily offered for her 3 year old and10 month old to come spend the day with us. Well, actually, I had to work in the morning. So once I established that I was in fact still married for offering them to stay with Billy, I called Caitlin (babysitter extraordinaire) to come and give Billy a hand.

Here are the two buddies, Henry and Joaquin!

This is later, when I got home. I called more reinforcements (in the way of best buds, Karen H. and Karin A-who managed to stay out of this picture).

This is Karen teaching her son one of life's necessities. My son, of course , was still sleeping and not witnessing this debauchery.

Joaquin, looking on, taking notes

Three friends; Joaquin, Henry and Carson

While everyone was napping, here's Joaquin's brother Alejo just up from his nap
hanging with Moose.

We put Alejo in a basket-why not?

Here's Alejo eating Karen's face.

So, what do you think? Karen and Stacy's Daycare!

You'd send your kids here, right?
After all the indoor shenanigans we went out front to sled down the sled slope that daddy built-complete with steps!

I think this is earlier...

These next pictures were taken last week. Much of the snow has melted. Enough that Henry can ride his bike around the driveway.

The nature trail down the street from our house is now passable so we took a bike ride with Henry in the trailer. I think he prefers to push the trailer.

As if I needed anymore convincing that we moved to a beautiful area,

here are some friends that we met along the way.

We counted eight deer in all!
