Spring has sprung!

This is Omi. She's my mom, and we moved her out of the house she was in for 40+ years and into an independent living place. She seems to enjoy it there, but I know it was difficult for her to have to pare down her 'stuff' so drastically. She moved from a 1700 sq ft house into a 700 sq ft living space. And the woman had more stuff than God, I think. But we did it, and we do have a lot of her things in storage, until we are sure she is happy there. We might move her to a bigger unit if it becomes available, and then she could fit more of her stuff in there with her. But we'll just wait and see how it goes for now.And this means spring is here! Happy girl, riding her big sister's car, wearing shorts, and enjoying the sunshine.
We decided to hang some plastic eggs from our tree. Really, though, we decided to go outside and play so that inside the house would be quiet and Maria could actually sleep. But just look at how tall my baby is getting!


And this was after Maria woke up and came outside to play with us. This was too cute not to photograph....



And Maria really did go, "whee!" as she started sliding down the slide. Cute, cute, cute!
