Let the sunshine in

The weather almost reached 70 degrees today, with a forecast of at least more of the same for the weekend. So, as Portlanders do when such beautiful weather emerges, we headed outside for a neighborhood trail walk. Although we did introduce Cole to the backpack a couple of months ago, he really wasn't ready, and he bounced around until we finally just pulled him out and carried him. But today, his much improved strength was very apparent--he rode with ease, chattered at everything around him, and continually patted my shoulder, as if to say faster, mama, faster!!! It is wonderful to now have the backpack available, as it opens up a number of additional options for future adventures that we can all enjoy together. It's going to be a great summer! (And spring too!)

He's such a big boy all of a sudden! I can't wait to see him again. :)
