Loving Outside

Todd and I have always enjoyed being outside whether it is working on the lawn, riding bikes, going for walks, or just sitting on our deck. We are very thankful that this love of being outside has been passed on to Andrew.

The other evening we decided to grill and eat supper out on our deck. We were holding Andrew outside while supper was cooking and he was just taking it all in; I swear that his head never stays still while he is outside. We had to come inside to get everything ready and Andrew began fussing and squirming in my arms; as soon as we stepped back outside he settled right down. This repeated when I had to go back into the house to get something else. He sat in his swing that evening and I would have to say that it was the most peaceful meal that Todd and I have had in a long time. :)

Andrew had a new experience this week as well...he got to feel grass on his feet for the first time.

At first he wasn't sure about this new feeling on his feet but soon just began to kick and move his feet through the grass. 

I have a very strong feeling that you will be finding us outside in our front lawn a lot of summer (and spring this year since it already feels like summer) afternoons. And I am looking forward to it all!
