At the Park

It was unseasonably warm a little while ago, so it seems strange to post these pictures when there's practically a blizzard outside.

As I've mentioned before, we get a lot of use out of our neighborhood park.

All of Amelie's pants became 3 inches too short overnight.

Climbing the stairs at 30 months:

For comparison, here's Amelie on the stairs at 16 months. Hasn't she grown?

I'm pretty sure this is not recommended by the manufacturers of the playground equipment, but I have to imagine that it's good for her coordination (and frankly, quite a bit less frightening than climbing the monkey bar steps).

Still as much fun as it was at 16 months. This is one of my all-time favorite photos:

Sam looks like a giant!

Walking along the stone wall

I carried James in the sling. Next summer, he'll enjoy the park.

We tried to get Amelie to pose for a picture with Mama

But it didn't much work
