Greg is working some long hours as tax season hits high gear. The weather is getting warmer (40F?), the snow and ice are gone, and there is now an extra hour of sun - or at least not darkness. So in the last couple weeks the kids and I broke the confines of our winter quarters and have been exploring. The water in the ponds and streams near our house is high and fast. This makes it doubly fun for hunting and throwing rocks. The kids are great at spotting red-wing blackbirds, Canadian geese and ducks - all of which are plentiful. I learned that some post-melt gear is essential - like rubber boots. And my washing machine is feeling the brunt of our muddy excursions.

Today we went on our longest bike trip ever - to the toy store. I don't know how far it was but my legs are still warmly numb and tingly. Things grew very quiet on the ride home.

    Cute! So, did you pull the trailer into the foyer and let them keep sleeping while you read a book? I do that all the time when they fall asleep in the car- that is I run into the house and bring back some reading material to the car :)

    What kind of bike trailer is that? Is it a Croozer? If so I have some questions for you :)

    Sounds like the perfect day Jill. Do you know when you're coming to El Paso? I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!

    I always comment on your blog! I think you must have erased it. Really. Did you?

    I don't think we weill get to see each other in El Paso. They are going to work on their residential projects first so they won't start the pasadena one for a while. Bummer.

    My kids always fought when when I put them that close together! Lucky you to find them sleeping! We love our bike trailer--- it's got some serious miles on it.
