Very Outside The Box

It has been a long week here - lonely without Chloe, and some of the most dismal weather Mother Nature could provide - cold (40's!) and rainy. It finally started to warm up at the end of this week, and we spent some time with friends and some time outside. We're gearing up for a busy weekend. I'm participating in the Great Cloth Diaper Change - an international effort to raise awareness about cloth diapering, and set a world record for number of cloth diapers changed simultaneously. Then Sunday is Easter, so lots of candy on tap. It's Addy's 1st Easter (she was born the day after Easter last year) which is exciting. Addy is so close to walking; she can stand on her own, and is taking steps while holding our hands, but doesn't quite have the balance or chutzpah to take any steps on her own.

It's all a matter of perspective - from one angle it's storm clouds, from another it's blinding sunshine.

The weather is forecasted to warm up sharply next week - into the 70's, so we are hoping to be outside every day.  With our busy weekend, I'll be posting more pictures soon!
