Spring is here!

We are so happy that the weather is getting nicer!  Dylan is loving all the outside time at school.  They usually go out to their playground 2 times a day if the weather is cooperating.  He really loves the slide and the sandbox.  He calls the slide "Weeeeee" so everytime we see a slide he starts yelling out "weee, weeee" and pointing at it.  It is very adorable.  We are very lucky in our neighborhood to have many parks within walking distance so Dylan gets a lot of time at the park!  We need to take some pics of our time at the park, we keep forgetting the camera. 


Out on the patio enjoying 85 degree weather in APRIL!


Loves his daddy!
Dylan now has all of his teeth, until he gets his 2 year old molars.  The canines have been the worst so far but they have all finally poked through so that is behind us for a little while.  He is growing up so fast and amazes us most days with how much he picks up.  He has started answering our questions with a "yes or no".  He doesn't always use them correctly but it is funny to hear him respond.  Today he was jabbering away in his high chair and he sounded like he said, "mama got no money".  Which Dennis and I thought was hilarious!  I'm sure that isn't what he said but it was so clear we had to laugh.  He is really starting to use his words to point things out that he sees outside.  His favorites are airplanes, birds and doggies!  We also have a goose nesting next to the pond outside our house and we keep telling him that the goose is sleeping.  He likes to say, "nigh nigh" and points at the goose. 

I have taken up running over the last 9 months.  I ran in my first 5k in March and ran an 8k today.  I have signed up for a 10k in May and this one is a little different.  It has 5 obstacles throughout the run.  I'm not sure what they all are but know that they include water crossings and an army crawl through a mud pit!  Matt and Cathy are coming to join me so it should be a great family event!
After my 8k in Chicago
We are heading home this weekend for Easter a week early since my mom has to work Easter weekend.  Dylan always enjoys his time with Grandma.  It will be our first trip since the car seat has been turned forward facing so hopefully he enjoys the view.  He is pretty good during the car ride all things considered.  Gives me hope for when we head to Maui for Travis and Molly's wedding. We hope all is well, we are really looking forward to a fun and exciting summer.
