gorgeous (our weather!)

Yesterday started out as a disappointing drizzle but by midday our skies were blue!!!  First time since our arrival almost three weeks ago!  I took a picture to document the occasion :)



We've struggled through lots of cloud cover and a fair bit of rain, so these blue skies were a big big treat.  Matt decided it was time to wash the family fleet.  The two-wheeled fleet, that is.

Apartment living doesn't lend itself to outdoor water taps.  There are outdoor faucets, but you need a special "key" to turn them on.  But my kids have (mostly) charmed the groundskeepers (the unofficial keepers of the water tap keys) so we sent Julianna out on her bike to scout around for a open faucet or friendly staff.  She came back victorious - one of the building ayis turned on a faucet for her/us.


I gathered a few buckets and rags and the kids got right to work.  Yes, Luke's hair is out of control.  I cut it last night (after this pic was taken).


He calls this little scooter thing his "bike".  Desperate to be like the big kids.

Isaac loves his bike, and has a new found scooter love too.  Just like his Daddy.... life on wheels is good for him :)


The bike washing session was partly a celebration - we are back in business with our electric scooter!  We arrived and discovered it needed a bit of work .... Matt picked it up from the shop yesterday.  Luke loves these scooters (calls them 'motorcycles') and I knew he'd be thrilled when he realized his Daddy had one!  I was not disappointed.



Yes, Daddy owns a "motorcycle".  Life just got a whole lot better!

It's sunny and blue again today... we are off to the pool!

Luke had a nice haircut on Sunday night, but a 2 year old with the curls Luke has, I would really have a hard time cutting them off too. Out of control, never... Smiles. Like your blue sky. Love you all, grandma Jan

I'm so far behind reading blogs, i've enjoyed the pics of the kiddos, the city, and the much to crazy traffic. My daughters usually drive, I ride, in Mlps. Yikes traffic in Mlps in Steele county ND compared to your city.
Sending tons of love and prayers, bn
