Easter

Cara enjoyed her first Easter egg hunt this year. On Saturday she and Mom decorated some blown eggs (had to switch to white eggs that week) and on Sunday while Cara was napping the Easter bunny hid the decorated eggs and a dozen plastic ones in the backyard. Cara was quick to find them, needing only a few hints from Mom and Dad.


The first egg was obvious!


Cara places the eggs carefully in the basket.


But why does this egg rattle?


Jelly beans!


The flamingo laid an egg.

Springtime Play

The weather for most of March was amazingly spring-like and dry, providing many opportunities to run around and play outside. The main exception was the week Cara's grandparents visited from Maine, and brought winter back with them. So no photos from that visit, but there will be plenty when we head east in August.


Cara can hang from rings for increasingly spans of time.


Swinging remains a popular pass-time, and she's working on learning to pump her legs. But having someone push is so much more fun!


And she's a great climber.



It's hard to swing like this, though.



Sunny afternoons on the deck - time for the hanging swing!
