Spring!

Last weekend was an absolutely beautiful weekend. Phillip and I got inspired by the warm weather and sunny blue skies, and headed to our local nursery to buy some plants for the garden. We set up Landon in the front yard so that he could watch us and enjoy the day....and he had such a great time! During the week when he and I are home together we always go outside on nice days, but usually the other kids in the cul-de-sac are at school, so it's kind of quiet.

But last Saturday all of the Dads were out (gardening with beers in hand, which inspired Phillip!), and so were all of the children. Landon watched the kids zoom around on their bikes and razors (which is basically a skateboard with an upright handle) and smiled and laughed every time one of the kids rode up and down our driveway. Eventually his charms wore down a few of the younger girls and they came to hang out with him on his blanket. It's so nice to see him enjoy other children so much. He laughed and squealed with them, and loved it when they tried to pick him up. It was such a nice day, and a needed break from the long winter and days inside...
