Oh Spring, How We Love You!

I know it's not TECHNICALLY Spring for a few more weeks, but we do love the changing of season from winter to spring and being outdoors once again. It has been such a long winter. Not that it's particularly balmy as of yet, but it's getting there! We have SO enjoyed the sunshine and warmer weather this past week. On the first warmer day of this year, we decided to celebrate by going to Hoover Reservoir and feeding the ducks. It turned out to be a bit colder than we had anticipated but still, a great time! The geese appreciated our presence there, if nothing else. Unfortunately, the water was still frozen and the snow around there hadn't melted there yet, as it had everywhere else. Figures.

Audrey loved it.

Alas, a terrible picture of me. Oh well.

The geese took their time coming up to investigate the bread we threw out to them. When they finally did get up close, my camera ran out of battery so I can't post the proof. Ha.

We also spent a wonderful morning at the zoo recently, celebrating our friend Sadie's 1st birthday. It was great fun and the weather cooperated beautifully! We also saw Jack Hannah, pictured in the middle here, which was neato. (Audrey and I are on the far left)

Other than that, Audrey and I have been enjoying our long walks outdoors once again. It is so fun to walk with her, both with her in the stroller and on foot. She has a comment for everything and is very curious about each tiny detail along the way. Today and yesterday have been rainy, so we've been confined, once again, to the house. However, we love the warmer weather and can't wait for the beautiful days to come!

I will try to post more often. I know I say that every time. Like I said - my time and creativity are being used elsewhere for now, so bear with me! :) Meanwhile - enjoy my new banner and spring colors. I had fun taking a break from other things to create the banner and mess with some fun html! Woohoo!
