We do a lot of this lately

Sorry for the absence (if anyone still reads this!)--we've had some computer complications lately that have prevented me from updating! Suffice it to say, we've had a pretty calm month.  The next few posts will be catching up from the few things we did do, and then hopefully I'll get back in the habit of posting more regularly :)

The big thing for Nikolai and I the last few months has been going for walks outside! Even before the snow melted, Nikolai had been starting to go stir crazy staying inside all day so we'd go outside and walk up and down the sidewalk a few times until he got tired and we'd go inside.  Now that it's getting warmer out we can play in the grass more, and I'm really looking forward to being able to take Nikolai to the park! 

These pictures are from a few days ago when the snow was melting and had turned our parking lot into a small lake.  Nikolai is truly his mother's son and LOOOOVED the puddles, so I took a few pictures to remember how much he liked it :)

Not pictured: when Niko decided to sit down in the puddle and got his bum all muddy....twice! Let's just say he definitely got a bath after that :)
