Here Comes The Sun

Thank goodness it is finally getting warm. We have been on a few more walks over the past week and have been spending time with Rex in the backyard. It is so fun to watch him explore the backyard and just be able to walk all over the place. So much different than last summer. However, he does try to take off for the neighbors' yard or our front yard so we are now discussing fencing off the last side of our yard. Neighbors on two sides have fences along our property line so it wouldn't take much to finish off the job and have our backyard fenced in. I was promoting the idea anyhow so we can keep the damn rabbits out of the yard and away from my plants but I can see the idea has more benefits than just keeping things out. We are now at a point where we also need to think about keeping things in. Here are Rob and Rex feeding the squirrels and Rex and I walking around, enjoying the sunshine.




Rob's parents went home yesterday. It was a great visit and everyone had a good time. It snowed a tiny bit for them last Friday but it all melted pretty quickly. Marge and I took a little trip to Des Moines on Saturday and had some girl time going shopping. We played Yahtzee and it seems I used up all my Yahtzee luck the last time I played- I lost badly both times. But after you get 531 points and FOUR yahtzees in one game, you really don't care about winning anymore. Rex got a little time alone with his grandparents on Monday night when Rob and I went out to dinner by ourselves. So nice to get out just the two of us AND not have to pay for a babysitter- woohoo! I can't believe that they will be back in just 8 weeks for baby brother's birth- the time is just flying by!!
