Spring for real?

Well, I dont really have too much to write about today, other than it is 16 degrees here!! Yea- spring is finally making an apperance. It was so nice to go out for a walk without a parka on, and shoes with no socks!!! We are heading out today to meet my freind Karen, and her son Jake in the park to take the boys for a walk. I think everyone has spring fever in Winnipeg, and is desperate to get out of the house. Unfortunatley, the nicest part of the park is now under water. The Assiniboine River had a massive Ice jam as well, and water backed up all over the English garden and Leo Mol sculpture garden. There was so much water that it flooded out of the garden, across the road and over into the duck pond. Good for the ducks I guess, bad for mommies trying to walk off their baby weight.

Here are some more photos of Graham for everyone to enjoy. Oh yeah- those photos of us in the jungle type atmosphere on the last post were taken in the Assiniboine Park Conservatory last weekend. I know it looks funny mixed in with the Ice jam photos.

Graham's new trick is that he has discovered the dog's bowl (yuck) and water dish in the kitchen. He happily splashed around in it under the watchful eye of his father (thanks Scottie) until he was soaking wet! I cant really lift the water dish up off the floor, as it is a self filling jug type of system, and really heavy and awkward to lift. So when Graham plays on the kitchen floor, its the first thing he "scoots" to. Somehow I have to figure out how to corral it off from him, without giving Murphy a nervous breakdown. The poor dog is terrified of the highchair,(at 100 lbs- who would have guessed that one), but I think once food starts falling from it, Murphy may reconsider. Still no crawling from the kid yet, but he is trying. On a positive note, we have had two nights in a row of sleeping through the night. Hopefully I just did'nt jinx us......
