SIGNS OF SPRING (AND SOME EXERCISE, TOO!)...

Spring has sprung in the DC area, and we couldn't be more thrilled to be outside having fun. Flowers are popping, green is everywhere, and we even had our first Spring thunderstorm last night! After a nice weekend and a birthday party for Steve's 90-year-old Aunt Phyllis, this week started off chilly, with a playdate The Little Gym with our cousins (which was inside, but still fun), but for the past 4 days, the weather keeps getting warmer and warmer, which means we're breaking out the bright colors and getting out into the fresh air. Here are some pictures from our week...

Caroline, Josh, and Aunt Melissa had fun playing on the hammock at Jeannie and Michael's, where we had the birthday party

It was great to see Steve's cousin Brett, and finally meet his wife Elif and their kids Gracie and Blake!

Cammy's a seasoned vet at The Little Gym, and can do a fabulous somersault all by herself!

I am beside myself that Caroline can walk this year (last year, she was crawling and dresses were too tricky), because she can now wear girlie stuff like this fabulous madras skort from Tommy Kids. Isn't it too cute with her Crocs from Aunt Suzy?

Your daughter reminds me of Suri Cruise! And did you get that madras skort recently? I want one for my daughter!

Ha! We've heard that once or twice - especially since she was born not long after Suri! Yes, I got the skort recently, about a month ago. I got it at the Tommy Hilfiger Kids outlet in Leesburg, VA (in case you don't have one near you and want to give them a call!). Just for an idea about sizing - it's a size 2T and Caroline's about 20 months old with a bit of a belly/chubby baby legs. It does have a great adjustable waistband, and we have it tugged pretty snugly right now, so hopefully it will fit through the summer! Let me know if you need more help, and thanks for stopping by!
