Spring Collage

Despite the St. Patrick's Day snow, spring unofficially arrived earlier this week with sandbox capers, dusting off the double stroller and lingering by a country roadside to gawk at charming lambs in the sunshine, and playing "beach" on the sidewalk.

The other day Auntie H entertained N and H all afternoon by fitting on a heap of maternity clothes from my closet. The girls immediately caught the dress-up bug. (N is sporting Auntie's clothes while H models a maternity dress--I mean shirt.)
