Spring update

We've had a busy time lately trying to stay occupied during the cold winter months.

Maya had a weekly music class that she grew to like. Her favorite times were playing with the instruments and clean up time!




We also took a day and met up with the Kahns at an indoor play spot so Maya and Owen could burn off some steam. I think they had a blast.



I just love how she looks around after she dumps the cart out to see if she's going to be told "uh oh!"



Little break for snack time. I just love the look on Owen's face:





Going through the car wash!





Here's a cute one of Owen:







This balloon had just the right amount of helium left!







We also had to create our own indoor fun when it was too cold/snowy out.

Just talking:



This was when Jon discovered that Maya could be lulled asleep by some guitar playing!



Dancing to NKOTB:



Playing with our rice sandbox:



The exciting video:



Wearing hats indoors is always entertaining.



With her Cookie Monster book:



Eating yogurt = very time consuming and messy, but fun.

Just talking and reading books:



At the beginning of March we took a trip with Aunt Mary to Virginia to see Phish. Maya did pretty well considering she was confined to hotel room much of the time. Thankfully it was pretty nice out so Maya went for tons of walks.



McDonald's Play Place! Good to burn off some energy.









It was nice enough for us to hang out at the beach for a little while with our friends Jenn, Troy and Jude. And Jenn's nephew Jake!





Now that it's getting nicer out at home, we're able to get out and explore. Maya loves to play with rocks, sticks, and leaves! And she loves to dig in the dirt.









In mid-March we also spent a lovely weekend in NYC to celebrate Maya's grandma's birthday. Maya got to watch lots of Elmo videos, hang out with mama's friend Bonnie on Saturday, and even have brunch at the Waldorf Astoria!
