Bedtime stories

Little Singer/Songwriter

Since we purchased a ukelele recently, Madelyn's songwriting skills have blossomed.  Here you can see her impromptu response to my performance of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."  There were several initial verses (Clara sleeps tonight, Mommy sleeps tonight, Mommy wakes up in the night...) that I didn't catch on video. However, this shout-out to her cousin Jack and friend Lila is still pretty enjoyable.

I must say that I'm pretty proud of her strumming rhythms!

Don't forget big sister!

Bicycle ride!

Madelyn has been asking for months to ride her bicycle, and today the sidewalks were clear enough for not only her balance bike, but also the stroller!  Spring is surely on its way.

A Day at the Park

Thankfully, the snow is finally beginning to melt!  However, the blanket of white stuff is still the predominant feature of the landscape.  The other morning the weather was too beautiful to stay inside, so the girls and I took a walk over to the park (the same one where we've had Madelyn's birthday parties).  As Tyler said, it's as if the ground has been raised about three and a half feet. Madelyn had a ball, but I don't think we'll be seeing grass anytime soon...

Not much gardening happening right now

Yes, that's a park bench

Nice, soft landing

From this angle, you almost forget that we've had the second snowiest winter on record
