Spring Has Sprung...

...at least temporarily! Last weekend through Tuesday we had wonderful weather. Over the weekend we went for our first official "family bike ride" with all 5 of us--Miriam was in the bike trailer and the rest of us rode our own bikes. Esther and Peter are getting to be strong little bike riders, which allows to explore our neighborhood a little more, even when the route includes some uphill climbs.

On Tuesday the kids and I were outside for the majority of the day. We went for several bike rides, played in the backyard, and drew with chalk on the driveway. It was wonderful to be outside, getting fresh air and releasing energy. The kids sleep better and eat a lot more when they're burning all that energy!

Of course now it's colder again, but it has to get warm again eventually, right?
