A Hint of Spring

Today was gorgeous! This is the spring weather that I have been waiting and waiting for. Our apricot trees are in bloom and the air is alive with the chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects (which I don't mind as long as they leave me alone).

I finally got to hang out my first loads of laundry to be air dried.

Brenda and Alyssa came over to our house after their prolonged absence (due to sickness and our new baby). Apparently getting up close and personal with Ephraim is something that is not restricted to Jacob:

I guess Ephraim is simply irresistible. The kids wanted to share their toys with Ephraim, which was adorable. And who wouldn't want to share with a boy this cute?
