Spring!

Well, it looks like spring has FINALLY decided to arrive for good here in central Iowa. Wow, it was a looooong winter! It is so nice to see green grass and leaves starting to grow on the trees! With the temps in the 60s and 70s, we have been getting outside for walks quite often. Jeremiah really seems to like going for walks, especially now that we don't have to have him so bundled and covered up. He loves looking around and seems to be taking everything in!

On Saturday, Adam rented a power rake to do some kind of raking to the lawn. Apparently this is a good thing to do to your lawn in the spring (although I am told it doesn't have to be done every year). I had no idea. My dad's way of caring for our lawn when I was growing up in California was pushing the old fashioned lawnmower with the spinning blades. For the longest time I thought that was the only kind of lawnmower out there! Who knew that they actually made ones that run on gasoline???? Anyway, both Molly and Jeremiah enjoyed watching out the front door while Dad used the power rake.




Hello there, Blue Eyes!

Also, now that the weather has warmed up, Jeremiah has gotten to wear some of his short-sleeved clothes (finally!). Yesterday we got out the onesie that Jeremiah got from Uncle Ben from the restaurant where he works. Jeremiah's cousin Josie was also wearing her Piece onesie yesterday! Here's the front of the onesie...


And the back.... (notice that Jeremiah is still sporting his mullet)


Thanks, Ben!
