Lovely Weekend

This weekend, we were really excited to hang out all together--our little family of four. We knew the weather was going to be nice, so we were looking forward to sticking close to home and enjoying the little things that really get Dane excited!

Saturday morning started off just grand. After a shower and some snuggling in his warm, cozy robe, Dane and Dad headed off to gymnastics.

After lunch and nap, we bundled up in the snow gear and shades and hit the streets!
Dane begs to go to the park quite often. He really begs to ride his bike. He digs bike riding and talks about the 'big boy bike and helmet' he's going to get when the snow melts.

So...after a little basketball, Dane climbed on his bike and the four of us headed to the park. It was quite a long ride/walk. There was still a lot of slush on the roads, but Dane insisted on riding his bike through it all. The weather was beautiful, so we didn't mind so much. Some spots were really bad though, so Ross carried Dane (on his bike). Anyone who has or has had a 2 year old knows that when they insist on something, if they don't get their way, a tantrum is likely to follow. We decided it was just too nice to allow the tantrum to happen.

Sunday morning, all Dane could talk about was playing baseball. I don't know where that came from, but just as promised, after nap, Daddy and Dane played some baseball. Believe it or not, Dane is really good. He can hit the ball. He really can. I'm sooooo glad he got his athleticism from Ross. It would be really sad if he took after me in that way.


It was so nice to have a little taste of nice weather and what will come. Too bad it's still a few months away. I'm so ready to be done with the cold.
