spring so far

Well, Michigan did some good for a week solid and man, we lived it up! It was in the 60’s and 70’s and sunny … wha??!! I know. But this happens every year. I just forget. Michigan is mean and plays dirty tricks. Every spring it gets to be April and I’m pissed that it’s still freezing at 40 degrees, then suddenly, we get a stroke of good weather, for just long enough to think, “huh, maybe spring is here! Maybe winter is over! Maybe we will start warming up!” and then I buy a basil plant! And then it’s the morning of Mother’s Day and Michigan slaps me in the face with 39 degrees and says, “take that!” and I have to bring my basil plant indoors, or watch it wilt and die slowly outside like my hopes and dreams of good, warm weather …. but for a week, it was good.

Ray has four teeth now! And boy did we ever pay for those 4 teeth. Rough stuff. Teething is the pits.

Ray also started standing up in his walker! He’s a speed demon at crawling these days but not really interested in walking just yet. The walker standing up thing just happened.

Then this next picture is for Daniel’s face. It’s his excited face …. wait for it ….

 

And this next picture is for Ray’s face:

Noah got a jump rope from the “grab jar” for getting his chores done on time. So we spent some time outside with the jump rope.

I love action shots of Noah. They are so real to life. He is in constant motion, always moving forward, making goals. That is my Noah.

  1. wait, I got more to say about this flip flop thing.

    really, flip flops jumping rope with Liam. I mean come on, what if he gets it stuck between his toes and the flip flop and he wipes out and knocks out more teeth. I would seriously re-consider letting him jump in them my friend…

  2. all i can see is the green grass. i forgot grass gets that green.

    also, jonathan makes that same face as daniel. it’s hilarious.
