Spring Is A-comin'!

as usual, click on small pictures to see bigger ones.

For most of the winter, the backyard looked like this. This is January 11th!
	However, every now and then, we got one of these. (This is January 14th!)
I LOVE being outside.
	Mommy taught me how to make snow-angels.
...and she pulls me around on the sleigh, too. (This was the day after Easter...our 2nd-biggest snowstorm of the winter!)
	Stella and I hanging out at Minnehaha Falls.
I've gotten quite good at crossing these.
	After playing at the park, there's nothing like a little "snicky-snack" at the co-op.
Days when we have to stay inside, I amuse myself by trying on Mommy's shoes...
	...or fingerpainting...
...or modelling my swimsuit for next summer...
	...or thinking of new ways to eat black olives!
Here I am in my Easter dress, made from the same pattern that Mommy's Easter dress was made from long ago. No matter how many times Daddy asked me, I kept grabbing my dress just as he pushed the shutter. Ha, ha!
	Notice how my feet reach the pedals this year? I've also outgrown my cute ducky helmet. Time for a new one before it gets warm for real!
