Spring has finally arrived in Minnesota!

The snow is finally gone!! YEAH!!! (Except last Saturday we had a dusting of snow on the ground with 30 degree weather) But we know that cold weather this time of year is short lived! We have been able to finally start using our 3-season porch more, which the kids love! We have been able to eat a couple meals out there, but for the most part, it has still been too "cold". I figured it is a little too cold to be eating out there in the 40s...but when it hits 50? Not much will stop us from being outside!

One happy girl!

Everything goes in the mouth! She has begun to attack Sophie the Giraffe!

Baseball season has also arrived, and Cael couldn't be more excited! Always asking to go to a "ball game"!

Stroller rides have also been a hit with the kids after work! Look...no "Bundle Me" on the car seat anymore! Yes, we just took it off about a week ago!

We are looking forward to the fun we get to have outdoors this spring and summer! Hopefully in the next few weeks the ground will be thawed enough to plant our garden! The hostas are already coming up, so that is a good sign!

On a side note...remember a couple years ago, I planted tulips, and I didn't think any of them would come up because of the squirrels? And then they came up! Last year the tulips didn't come up, so I planted marigolds where they were the year before. Well, this year...I have tulips again! And I didn't plant them last year! I even have the 1 random tulip in the back yard in the same spot it grew a couple years ago, I am guessing from the squirrels. What an interesting yard we have!
