reunited

cause it feels so good. 

shall we talk about the weather?

everything is alive this morning and happy it's spring. what a sighing winter it's been. adah was at a sleepover last night, so i've enjoyed a quiet morning with my collection of pets + coffee and orange rolls on the porch. 

yesterday we spent most of the day at the woodburn tulip festival, romping through many acres of tulips. 80 degrees and sunny after what seemed like eons of rain. 

 

 hey, tulip face.

we went to a delicious tacqueria for lunch, and then got sticky with paletas. 

i sat on a park bench for a hour and a half speaking half-assed spanish to a grandpa while the girls took off their shoes and socks, chased each other around, and made snow angels in the grass. i love those two.

new favorite family photo, thanks to brilliant nephew. 

first spelling bee

adah misspelled "three" a couple of rounds in, but i was so proud of her for trying. a few months ago she never in a million years would have stood up in a room full of people and tried to spell words into a microphone.
