Spring Has Sprung!

The weather has been very spring-like for the past couple of weeks (though as I write this it's raining again!). We've had lots of fun outside... playing with friends, working in our garden, and hanging out at the park. Here are some random photos:

Ben "hupping" me trim the hedges. Note that he's using his plastic toddler-friendly scissors. He became very frustrated when they wouldn't cut very much!



My recent favorite photo. He's sucking on a "wa-pop" (lollipop).


Flowers blooming at the park! (Wa-pop in his mouth.)



Ben loves the sand box at the park...

Lots of photos...

Ben very much enjoys spaghetti dinner...


Last weekend, after Papa left, we took Ben to the boat for the day. We're hoping he'll grow up comfortable with the water and sailing. So far so good! He had a blast playing and "hupping" (helping) aboard...
