S-U-N-S-H-I-N-E

As we all know, Minnesota weather is unpredictable. Just last week, there was snow in the NE corner of the state, and now we are enjoying 80 degree weather! Next week, we are supposed to hit 90 . . . in May! Because of this temperature spike, we have been outside as much as possible, because we don't know how long we have before it is rainy and cold again.


Even though Claire walks like an over-weight, drunk man ready to fall at any moment, she still gets around like nobodies business! She is now able to walk from our patio, down the little slope and almost all the way to the play area! It is hilarious watching her waddle in a zig-zag pattern in pursuit of her beloved playground.


Claire and Ella have been quite good playmates lately. They do especially well when playing outside on the playground, in the playhouse, or driving in the Jeep.

Jocie finally agreed to let me take some pictures of her. She usually rolls her eyes as soon as she sees the camera around my neck, but today, she reluctantly agreed to a couple of snap shots. What a treat :)

Too bad she doesn't allow me to shoot her more often . . . she is quite the model!

We are hoping next week's weather is a good indicator of what's in store for us in June, July and August!
