Garden ready

Several weeks ago, we started some of our seeds indoors. This week, we've finally been able to get those seeds in the ground. Louis has loved helping all along the way. The garden has been that 'something special' that he and Matt do together. This year we're planting eggplant, onions and corn for the first time. And, we'll have our annual favorites - green beans, tomatoes, garlic, green onions, zuchini as well as all of our herbs!

Biking around town

Matt biked to work again today! The forecast called for rain during the am rushhour, so I didn't plan on riding in. What a lovely morning it turned out to be!

It takes me an hour to make the 6.7 mile trip from our house to work, so it requires that I make preparations the night before and that I'm out of the door by 7:30 a.m.  

Matt, on the other hand, can get to work in 30 minutes so he can decide at the last minute if he's going to bike in. To make the commute more comfortable and hopefully faster (for me), we're thinking about investing in new bikes like this commuter or hybrid.

My second-hand youth mountain bike just isn't working!

Late night popsicle run

After playing late in the backyard, Louis insisted on having a popsicle before bed but we were completely out! What was a girl to do? I plopped Louis in the car and we headed to store on the hunt for some delicious popsicles.....we found just what we were looking for. Yum.

April showers please bring May flowers

We've had so much rain the past several weeks and I hope in the month of May we're blessed with beautiful Spring flowers. Thankfully, the rain hasn't kept us inside. We've been able to get outdoors a bit with an umbrella in tow. In this picture Louis holds his umbrella while we hunt for rainbows.

Unfortunately, we didn't find any rainbows on this evening but we did have great fun splashing in the puddles and pretending to fly with our umbrellas.

When it started raining too hard to stay outside, Louis, Matt and I jumped in the car and played. Matt and I sat in the backseat and enjoyed a nice glass of red wine, while Louis pretended to drive us around town. We felt like royalty having such an adorable little chauffeur.
