Welcome Spring!

After what has seemed like a Seattle winter, Spring is here! The evidence is everywhere:

Lots of Park time:


Lots of AZ citrus:

Lots of Visitors:

Lots of Brothers, Bikes and Bubbles:

Lots of Cactus to step on:

This is what Easter time is all about: new life, new energy, new realizations about life.

Random Sampler

Chris has been on the road Monday-Thursday for the past three weeks and I'm just trying to keep above water with the boys. Here's a little about what's been happening around our house.

1. Spring has sprung. Until moving to the desert a few years ago, I had know idea that it could be so colorful and full of life. These are a couple of spring shots from our yard.
Can you believe a bird laid her eggs in a cactus? Cal visits them daily to see if they have hatched yet.
Prickly pear cactus blooms for just a few weeks each year.

2. The boys are beginning to play together. Cal has definitely assumed the role of big brother and loves to show Crewe how to do things. Crewe is the first person he looks for in the morning.
3. "Truck" is the official word of the day, week, and month. Cal is completely obsessed with anything with wheels. He tries to ride anything that looks like it will go, including Crewe's oxygen tanks. Here he is riding a friend's "car." We got him one for his upcoming birthday.
4. We are learning to watch what we say. Almost overnight Cal has started busting out with new words and phrases. In the car last week he told a driver of another car to "come on;" told me "no way" when I asked him to get his shoes, and then proclaimed "gosh" when he heard me talking on the phone to a friend.

Oh the Weather Outside is Delightful

February and March are two of my most favorite months in Arizona. We've been enjoying some beautiful weather the last few weeks. Calahan especially has loved getting outside. Here are a few shots of our "winter" fun.

Silly sprays are so FUN...

Still fun after 10 minutes...

Making friends at the park... he's got a thing for the ladies!

Playing hard-to-get...

Checking out the "wah-wah" as he calls it.

Crewe's eyes keep getting bluer.
