rock-a-bye babies

• Ian, you and I snuggled and soaked up the spring warmth on the deck for a long time this morning.  It was completely satisfying.  Thanks for the pictures Katie Bean.
• I came into the living room and saw the four of you all together around the rocking chair.  I grabbed my camera super quick because it's hard to get the four of you together without posing and without a looooooot of complaining.  You guys can be pretty adorable together sometimes.
• Katie, you wanted to go to Annika's house this afternoon, so I agreed as long as you walked there.  You were super nervous about walking there (even though it's really straightforward!), so I walked there with you.  Jane, you came along with us, but stopped with the babies at the park, and watched them while I walked with Katie the rest of the way.  I came back to the park to join you.
• Jane, you played with the babies in the sunshine at the park, then you and I sat on the bench at the top of the hill and took in the views of the mountains and soaked up the warmth from the sun.    It was pretty great.  I feel happy and at peace when I'm outside and the sun is shining and I'm with people I love.
