Summer seems to have arrived

Daddy's little helpers.

A little fun at the park.

The start of the vegetable garden for the season. April 24.

Progress! May 22.

June 26. Things are looking pretty good!

Happy 2nd birthday Henrik!

Let's just say this was not one of our most successful parties. Henrik was done before the party even started.

After a short nap he was willing to come "help" open his presents, but Ida and her buddy Oliver were kind enough to help out on all the presents he didn't want to open.

Henrik perked up a bit for the big wheel.

We considered the entire weekend part of his birthday and thankfully he was in great spirits other than at his actual party.

The "hired" help built a gorgeous new deck through some adverse conditions (very hot and then quite cool in a matter of 30 minutes, wind, rain, downright cold!).

The birthday celebrations and (gifts) continued. Henrik and Ida both love the Thomas playtent and caboose . . .

and the train tracks and trains!
