Meet Bear Zeppelin

We have been spending a lot of time outdoors lately. Those of you who know me well, know that I enjoy a very small range of acceptable temperatures and then I become cranky. Matt lovingly calls this a Breach of Acceptable Temperatures. But since my firstborn loves to be outside, I am learning to adjust. We have been playing in the sprinkler, flying a kite, and playing golf and baseball lately.

Elliott also got to make his first bear at the Build-a-Bear store. He loved the attention and giving Bear a "bath," and we chose appropriate accessories for him - golf clubs and a tool belt. Elliott has named his special treat Bear Zeppelin, though he mostly refers to him simply as "Bear."

Aaron is trying desperately to move. He was strapped into his travel swing this morning and managed to sit up and grab hold of the bar on the floor. He looked like a chubby miniature acrobat. Then he had the whole thing swinging like he was a big kid on the playground.
