Enjoying the weather

Yesterday we met Justin's parents halfway for a picnic and sand rail ride to celebrate Nel's birthday on Tuesday. The weather was perfect and it was nice to just spend a little time in the spring sunshine. Too soon we will be roasting in it!

Crazy-face Lauren strikes again!

She was having the best time with the giant bubble wand Grandma brought!

Paige was thrilled to have freedom to play in the dirt and rocks!

For not having any nap (other than 15 minutes of the rail ride), she was a champ and didn't even melt down!

Papa took a little time to teach her about the joy of throwing rocks in the water.

She thought that was pretty great! Lauren had a blast in the water as well:

We were fortunate to find a great spot with this little creek flowing through it. I am always amazed how kids don't care if the water is freezing, they just get right in there anyway!

It was a really nice day - and the pictures make me smile, especially since this morning I am coughing and have no voice at all. Thoughts of this day outside will have to get me through a week where I am likely to be cooped up in the house trying to get well!

Wish I was there with you - that Paige is just so stinkin' cute - all squishy nose and dirty and lovin' life. She is going to be another little outdoor nature-lovin' girl like her mommy and daddy and big sister! By the way... you should've posted some pics of yourself -- you look AWESOME -- I am so proud of the work you have done on your weight loss - good for you! Oh... and cute, cute baby pics on your "one a day" posts, too!
