Spring has arrived

Spring has actually felt like "spring" this year. The snow has been melting steadly since mid-March and is pretty much gone. We've been able to get the kids out to play a bit--Henrik has upgraded to the backpack and Ida has started learning how to ride her tricycle (which she calls her "bike ride"). She's still a little too short to reach the pedals, but she's starting to get the hang of it. When she wants you to push she yells "pedal, pedal, pedal". I guess she doesn't understand that "pedal" means she's supposed to do it herself!
