Zoo-mania

Graham, holding hands and walking around the zoo this morning with his friend Annabelle.

Yes, we *think* we can safely say "Spring"

Today was another beautiful day. I think we even hit 50 degrees. Yahoo! We spent lots of time outside today, running around, chasing bunnies in the yard, and picking up sticks.

We also received a bundle of wool from Alisa's dear friend Elizabeth and her three sons. The wool is from sheep on their blueberry farm outside of Birmingham, Alabama, and was tied together in a small bundle to hang in a tree. The point? Birds will take the wool, piece by piece, to help build their spring nests.

So thank you, Benjamin, James and Ruben for sending us this sweet spring gift to hang in our backyard. Graham and Dada hung the wool today to give the birds a boost with their spring nesting. xoxo.

G says: ¡Hola!

Greetings post-Mexican adventure! Graham and I had the good fortune of being invited on a week-long vacay to the Puerto Vallarta area a couple of weeks ago with Jeff's parents and their long-time friend, Bill. Thanks to "Uncle Bill" (as Jeff calls him) for letting us crash at his ocean-view timeshare condo. Talk about rejuvenating!

Sadly, while mama was sipping margaritas on the beach and G was covering his little legs with sand, daddy had to stay behind to work. Who got the bum deal there?

By the end of day one, G was already showing off his newly-acquired Español, tossing out an "¡Hola!" at any given opportunity. Nana and Papa enjoyed every second with their grandson, and Uncle Bill quickly adapted to having a toddler running around his timeshare. Enjoy the pics below of our cute blondie ...

Beach bunny

Cold weather, be gone! Graham showed his affection for warm-weathered beach frolicking earlier this month while visiting Oma (Alisa's mom) and Coco (Val's husband) in sunny F-L-A. We also had a lovely visit with Graham's Great-Grandpa Buzz. We miss you!

G + his new BFF

Graham has never been attached to much of anything in the way of blankeys or stuffed animals. Until now.

Story time with Grandpa

I've been meaning to post this for a long time and just realized it has been sitting here as a draft. Oops! Here's "Papa" Nelson reading to Graham on one of their recent visits.

Happy Day of Love!
