April Showers Bring May Flowers But What Do April Snows Bring?

   According to the calender, it's the first day of April. Whenever I think of April, I think spring....Since I've lived in Wisconsin for 14 years now, you'd think I'd know better than that! It would be lovely to be transplanting flowers while basking in warm sunshine on my deck, but instead I do it on my dining room floor, because it still like this outside:

   What you can't see in the picture is the snowflakes that were coming down.

   We're trying to be brave, but really...we are kinda ready for spring now.

   In other news, we are now officially parents...this beauty is parked in our garage!☺We'd been having some issues with our car, and knew we'd have to buy something different, but at first I was pretty opposed to the idea of a van. However, after a time or two of getting tangled up in myself climbing from the front seat to the back seat in the car, I was more than ready to go the van route! I think we're gonna love all the space, especially since we already plan to take several trips this summer!

    Speaking of parenting, I think my initiation should be complete now that I've been doused numerous times by the three P's (pee, poo, and puke). The child is an expert at knowing when her diaper is out of the way!☺In spite of all that, I can't help but love this little face!

     Zoey is 5 weeks old, and keeps growing and changing. She still sleeps lots, but is more alert and responsive now when she is awake. We've coaxed a few smiles out of her, but not when I have the camera handy of course! 

 

Sitting in Grandpa's big chair...

    A couple of weeks ago we took an quick trip to Indiana. Tom's uncle passed away suddenly from a heart attack, so Dan and Ruthie flew in for the funeral. While the reason for the trip was sad, we were so excited that Grandpa and Grandma Schrock got to meet Zoey earlier than expected! She traveled very well, and charmed everyone that she met (though she was asleep most of the time).☺

   Til next time....
