Spring Has Sprung!

As a North Dakota native, people here think it is funny when I complain about Chicago winters. They are nothing compared to what I experienced growing up. However, they are long, cold and gray and though we are always ready for spring when it arrives, this year we have been looking forward to it more than ever! It has been the longest, coldest winter I remember in Chicago and we have been feeling very cooped up and anxious to get outside with Audrey. Today was not the warmest day we have had in the past few weeks but it was sunny and, most importantly, it was Sunday, which means we were home to enjoy it! We took Audrey to the park (she now hates the swings, loves the slide and is scared of grass, sand and wood chips - what a city girl) and then we had a picnic in the park. After eating her own food, Audrey hammed it up by grabbing some of our baguette and getting it nice and slobbery!
