With the warmer weather (yay!) making its way into Syracuse, we were inspired to talk a jaunty walk around Green Lakes last week. We did forget our usual "wrap" for the Doodle ("Oh, we'll be FINE . . . ) and by about half way around we remembered we were lugging a squirmy 18 lb turkey! It was, however, a lovely walk, and E especially loved riding around on her daddy's shoulders. We even ran across a few dogs on the trails. E definitely recognizes dogs now and she repeats the "sign" for dog (panting with the tongue out!) after we do it. She laughs too. It is super adorable.
In honor of Jesse finishing his portfolio, Grandma and Grandpa Steeves came up for a night and a day to watch the Doodle - so we could have a date night! We had planned a bit of a pub crawl downtown, but we ended up waiting so long for out table at Empire Brewery that we just had a few more beers at the bar and counted that as our "crawl" :) No complaints from us - their beer is tasty and so is the food! We got one of our growlers refilled as well - a rare treat since a refilled growler isn't all that much cheaper than a brandy new one! Empire, we love you, but your beer prices force us to get our local beer elsewhere!
Speaking of the grandparents, Grandpa Steeves and Eddy got to bond over supper. I believe it was a green bean, sweet potato, rice and milk combo . . . You can see in this series of pictures that Miss E was a bit dubious at first, but she quickly got into the swing of things and chowed down. They had breakfast together the next morning as well, and Grandpa declared their combined technique had improved as evidenced by the increased food into mouth versus all over face and bib ratio!
Adding to our bliss is the arrival of warm weather - and a glimpse of the bulbs we planted this past Fall! The crocuci have sprung, and we can see the shoots of daffodils, tulips . . . the lilac bushes, rose of sharon, and even our little trees have buds ripening . . . any altogether cheerful sight of a front lawn!
Yayyyyyyyyyy for sunshine!
