Just got out of the shower while Mama takes hers. Nico is wide awake, we're cutting it close to feeding time, but he seems fine with it.

Literally around the block, although it was the block across the street because there are some interesting gardens over there. It was quite pleasant, a beautiful 65 degree spring day, sun shining -- yes, Nico, the weather is always like this in Minnesota!

Clearly, Nico is excited for this little neighborhood garden tour. Daddy and Nico did a brief 10 minute walk around our own gardens this morning. They walked through the Mulberry Shade Garden, The Great White Pine Vegetable Garden, The Patio Patch, The Side Hosta/Sunflower Garden, The Native Prairie, The Herb Garden and finally the Boulevard Gardens. The plants are making great progress and growing each day - especially with yesterday's rain, everything seems to be taking off!

Our friend Betsy came by today with the cutest knitted sweater she made. She got the whole story of our birth process and not much else. It was great to see Betsy and she is one wonderful listener!
