Springtime in the New House

We are so enjoying our new house!  Since the weather has warmed up, we've been able to get outside and really enjoy our yard and patio.  Having a nice yard, cement driveway and great patio area are just a few reasons we're glad we bought this house.  It's been perfect for our family, even if there is a lot of grass to mow and tree limbs to pick up.  :)  We were so anxious to get outside and work in the yard, play and enjoy springtime.

We ate pizza on our patio one warm Friday evening.  Vince had his first graham crackers while we ate our dinner.  He made a big mess crunching and slobbering, but he was pretty proud to feed himself something new.  Here are the many faces of Vinners....

His recent nose-wrinkle and squinty-eye face.

So excited!

Another afternoon, the kids waited patiently for dad to come home from work so they could go out to play!  I love this picture...

We have a bubbling rock in the back patio area, and Vera insisted on helping Adam get it running.  

Once it was working, she had plenty of fun playing in the rocks.  She assures us that she's just playing with the wet rocks and not slopping in the water.

Here we are enjoying another warm evening on the patio.  This is one of my favorite pictures.  Our patio is just perfect.  I'm looking forward to spending a lot of time out there this summer.  Already, I've spent some warm weekend afternoons (while the kids were napping) just sitting outside resting and enjoying the sounds of spring.  It makes me so excited for summer!
