So much for our early Spring!

It has been snowing, hailing and sleeting for the past couple of days. Hard to believe it will be Spring in 11 days!

first signs of spring...

it's been a long cold winter here. the sprouting of this little crocus is a beautiful thing.
temperatures are on the rise (on some days) and the days are definitely getting longer!

Point Defiance Zoo

We took Tulip to the Zoo for the first time. We didn't make it past the Aquarium but we had lots of fun exploring all the sea creatures!

Hello...

Been forever since we posted an entry. A couple of weeks ago it rained for 3 days straight - literally. Never stopped pouring rain. Our basement was starting to flood so I went over to my mom's house to borrow her sump pump only to find that she already had 4" in her basement.

We scrambled to save what we could - mostly sentimental items. At it's worst, there was about 12" - and it covered the entire basement. It was like a swimming pool down there. We worked until 4am getting the water out.

I wish I had my camera to docment the experience but it really wasn't on my mind until after the fact.

Whip-It!

Does anyone remember this??
