An Early Easter and a Lovely Spring

Twinkle, twinkle, our little star... Here Lydia practices singing a solo for the
church retreat hootenanny in February, with Daddy on rhythm guitar.
An audience of 100 did not faze her in the slightest!

Sledding in a friend's yard, just before the snow melted.

There are some advantages to melted snow -- one is
getting to wear the ladybug boots unwrapped at Christmas!

We had several grandparent visits in March.

Grandpa Jim helped me build one more snowman!

Don't I look dreamy in my Easter dress?

I'm a lot better at egg-hunting than I used to be...

...even if I can't reach quite as far as the chimp at the zoo.

Our bunny Ellie enjoyed an outing on the deck with me.

Playing on the deck is a lot of fun.

The backyard makes a nice green backdrop for a pose or two or three.
