Spring is in the Air

Besides this mid-April snowfall, it's been a pleasant spring here in the PNW, I think at least. We've had quite the collection of non-rainy days which have allowed us to spend more time outdoors; something we look forward to all winter long! Easter Sunday was actually warm enough for Reina to find her eggs outside. That was the extent of our "Easter Bunny" Easter, but Reina watched this video at least 5 times that day. We like to keep Easter centered on Christ so her basket was a whopping $1.79 (the cost of a dozen eggs).



Reina and Cousin Heleena twirling!

We've been to a lot of parks this spring. Baelor recently went in a real swing for the first time and LOVED it, as do most babies. It's not as cold as it appears...I just dress my kids extra warm. Reina is over 3 years old and has never had an ear-ache (knock on wood).

Baelor is such a happy little guy. I really couldn't have a more happy, easy, pleasant baby. He only cries when he is hungry and mildly if something is irritating him. He really does smile like this all the time. He loves to snuggle up to mommy. Thanks to YouTube I finally learned how to properly use my Moby. Way easier watching a tutorial than reading directions. What a great invention these little wraps are.

 In an early May record-braking warm day, Reina of course wore her twirly purple dress that she is obsessed with, and enjoyed getting completely soaked with her friends! But look at the sheer happiness!!

We finally got a minivan! Yep, a silver Honda Odyssey like everybody else. Didn't necessarily want a silver one since I have two siblings and in-laws with the same, but it was the one we found for low miles in our price range. I'm loving the sliding doors, leather seats, safety, and extra space! Thanks again babe for supporting my "splurge". I was tired of fearing another "rear-end" accident with our precious cargo.

We've already gone to the Farmer's Market where we stuff ourselves on kettle corn. Reina especially enjoyed petting the many dogs! She's always been a lover of doggies.
