...playing outside, signed up for school...

We have enjoyed some beautiful sunny Spring days lately!

Sean got to play on the grass for the first time. This went well until he spied the bright flowers. I captured his speed-crawl to the flower bed and subsequent mouthful of pansies on camera... to be posted soon.

Sean thought the grass felt and tasted REALLY COOL. He kept grabbing handfuls of it to investigate. Hooray for tactile experiences...

...then Lincoln barked at us, which surprised Sean.

When Lincoln made some howly whiny sounds, Seam thought it was hilarious!

Here Mark and Sean are playing together. The way this game works: Sean tries to get to a toy (or in this case, to baby Katie), and Mark catches him and pulls him back. Mark is good at being gentle, and Sean thinks it is great fun.

Mark, Sean and baby Katie having a pow wow.

Sean and Katie playing. It was hard to get a good picture because Sean kept climbing onto Katie.

Our big news this week: We signed Mark up for Kindergarten! (For my German friends: this is the US equivalent of Vorschule). He starts this Fall, and is pretty darn excited. While I was filling out the paperwork Mark said "Hi!" to every child great or small that walked past us. Most of them just gave him the 'whatever'-look, but that didn't phase him in the least.

Oh yes. Exhibit A, why there aren't more pictures of Mark these days! I love this boy!
