Spring is Here…Finally!
Spring is here finally, or at least for today. The sun was shining and warm air surrounded us as we walked downtown. Daddy took Gertrude to the park on the bike, I hung diapers to dry out in the driveway. It feels great! After a long winter it is hard to remember the beauty of spring until it actually happens. Celebrate with these great picture books.
