Yesterday, between rain showers, we enjoyed the most wonderful weather! We got to really take in the Spring in it's fulness. We should have known, however, that today would be miserable. This is how we keep busy in the sunshine:
Sofie is learning to "budge" on the trampoline. (I'm assuming she means bounce) Look at how much air she's getting these days! 
Discovering Roly-Poly bugs, or as Derek calls them, Pill bugs.
Pruning the apple and peach trees with G-pa.
Watch out for the monkey!(ps, there would have been a picture of me as well, but nobody taught Derek that it's rude to take pictures of his wife's backside from the widest angle possible...)
Then of course, it didn't last, so today we had to be creative to keep little Sofie distracted. So, I pulled out a metal bowl (great for a noisy fun effect) and a bag of dried black-eyed peas (the most visually stimulating) and a few other things like tupperware, spoons, and cupcake pans. She's been going at it for a least half an hour. Doesn't even know I'm in the room!
Who knew it could so much fun to make a mess!
Good thing I own a broom :)
A week later, she's feeling much better (although still not napping very well). This Sunday I finally got to show her off in her Easter Dress. (She was too sick last week.) I went all out and even whipped out the curling iron.
