81°

Come onnnnnnnnnnnn, Spring!  Man, this weather is amazing!  Sunny, 81° and just a light breeze.  I cannot imagine a more perfect day!  The kids enjoyed the afternoon so much!

By the way, Alex is starting to get over his hatred of getting his picture taken!

Elliott is actually hating the sight of me toting my camera around these days.  I can’t get her to be still for a second, much less actually look at the camera.

What she did enjoy was finding a beautiful little creature.

What could it be?  Let Alex have a lookie-see.

A lovely little ladybug!

Now, ladybug.  Get busy building your army to protect my garden from aphids!  Thank you.

I chased the kids around a little more with my camera.  Alex didn’t seem to mind and I just love this shot!

He called me around the corner of the house to show me his ‘modeling whale’ and to make sure I got a picture of his ‘modeling whale’.

GQ material.  Absolutely.

Elliott was getting more and more irritated with me for taking pictures, but gah!  How can I resist taking pictures of those gorgeous curls?!

And one last lovely glare for you before I wrap it up…

That’s my girl.   Feisty and lovely all at the same time.

Oh…wait.  One last thing…

Welcome, beautiful flowers!  Welcome, Spring!  How I’ve missed you!
