More Spring Fun

Album | Slideshow

We're having lots of fun in the warmer spring weather. The girls love naked time outside. And inside, too.

Yesterday was my birthday. I told Audrey in the morning while I was making us oatmeal, and she said "Daddy, can I have some of your birthday?" I said, "Of course!"

Carol and I did a little swing dance demo at Audrey's preschool. The kids were enthralled. Even though Carol and I only dance once or twice a year in public (we dance pretty often for a song or two after dinner with each of us holding a girl), we still remember how to do it pretty well. And we love dancing together - it's how we met and the fact we enjoyed dancing with each other so much is a major reason we're here together now.

A while back Carol was cleaning out her closet with help from Audrey and Charlotte. Audrey discovered a flower-print negligee that she fell in love with. She hasn't gone to bed without it since. It is now her "nightgown".

Dennis (Carol's dad) and I split the cost of a USB turntable that was on sale at Costco.com. For the past week I've been "ripping" vinyl albums. I have about 1000 albums that have been in boxes since 1997. It's a trip down memory lane seeing and hearing them again. Obviously I can't rip them all - I'm picking the ones that are not easily available on CD (and that I haven't already replaced on CD). It takes about an hour per album (playing time for the record plus some manual processing one has to do).
