Sunshine days!

Oh my, I'm so happy that the sun is shining! Today I actually worked up the motivation to get outside after William's morning nap. We went to the park to foster his new passion: the swing! He can't get enough and is often moved to tears when it's time to get out. I took lots of pictures. It was warm enough to take off his hat, probably, but I was worried someone would walk by shaking their finger at me! It's been known to happen! Mostly I think they were just a bit shocked that I was letting him crawl around in the sand. One guy with a dog, Mia, thought it was great though. Just as refreshing as the warmer air and sunshine.

The happy boy on his first swing ride. On Friday we walked to meet Nathaniel at work for lunch and stopped at this park. He cried for 5 minutes after we left until I gave him my sunglasses. In most of the pictures his little bear hat kind of makes his head glow! My little Bear Angel.

First swing ride- I hope that the video doesn't make you motion sick.











Hmmm...Where did that apple wagon wheel go??


William has found a make-shift walker. As you can see, he gets very upset when he runs out of room!

Oh my word! They're twins! After W did that for a week with his play table, we broke down and got him a walker for his birthday. He LOVES it, but still gets mad when he's at the end of the straight-away.

So cute. He's so active, not like when you left us and he'd just lay in your arms. I love the food stuck to his little butt picture!
