Outside enjoying the nice weather.

Jake was showing me how the bark is peeling on the birch tree.

Mari "playing' with Daisy Dog.

Yes, she is chewing on the top rung of the ladder, and all that purple stuff is sidewalk chalk that she and Jake are trying to 'color' the slide with. Below is Jake's finished bird house waiting on a tenant.

She was running around outside enjoying her new found freedom.

Mari can almost climb the slide completely by herself.

Jake actually enjoys pushing Mari in the swing and he is very good at it and very safe about it. I was worried he would get smacked by the swing but he pays close attention and moves out of the way. He is such a clever boy and the best big brother ever! As you can see, Mari loved having him push her.

Below is Mari with most of her teeth showing. She also has one molar and is hard at work on two more molars currently. She is still missing one of her front teeth as well as she only has three of the four top front ones.
