ready for summer

The last couple of days have been delightfully warm here in Houston, and Abigail and I have started frequenting our local park. Yesterday, we walked around the small lake, enjoying the sounds of children playing, birds chirping, and a soft wind. Then Abigail enjoyed the toddler swings, evidenced by her many smiles and giggles. And we finished off our trip to the park by going down the slide. She still doesn't know what to think of dirt, grass, and woodchips, and her new walking skills land her on this unfamiliar ground all too often:)

We're both ready to make good use of our apartment's pool this summer. I'm hoping that at the end of April/beginning of May, the water will be warm enough. Sunscreen, swimsuits, sunglasses and sippy cups full of water here we come!
