Springtime!

It's so cool to be in Spring because even though we haven't lived here for quite a year yet, we have now seen every season in Philly. I do have to say that I think I like the falls and springs the best here. The fall for the brigh colors on the leaves, and the spring for the cherry blossoms and gorgeous warm weather. So far it's done a lot of raining, but on days that it is sunny, we've had a lot of fun taking walks around the property. And since Skyler is such a wondering explorer, he has graduated from the stroller and gets to walk too, and just loves it. The best part is that after an hour or so of walking around outside, they take the best naps. Ah, I love it, I can't wait to spent most of our days outside!















Pushing baby B in the swing, so cute!


Skyer, who was once fearless and used to fly down the slide head first, now climbs to the top of the slide and hangs on for dear life. It's so weird how he has inhibitions all the sudden! So, to save himself the embarrassment, he just climbs UP the slide. It's much more manly then chickening out at the top!



We've also started eating outside, Jayda loves it, Skyler only loves it if I'm out there with them. The second I go inside for anything, he grabs his plate and follows me. I would complain, but I know I'm going to miss the days that he was so attached to me, so I just enjoy it!

Skyler could spend HOURS just going up and down this set of stairs by the cherry blossoms. He loves to find sticks and bugs, and plays really well by himself. Jayda depends much more on other friends to keep her company, but she is also learning to be happy just playing with Skyler.

Great pictures!! I tried to get Ben to take pictures by the trees last year but I was informed they are too pink and girly for a family picture with mostly boys :) I love that you guys have picnics on your patio and that Skylar follows you...so cute!
