Lots of spring pictures

I got behind on pictures this year, so before we move into new baby mode, let's remember the last few months! We finally warmed up and spent time outside before hunkering down to get ready for Eddie's arrival. Here are lots of pictures of Annie's preschool graduation, Memorial Day at Gull Lake, Nellie's piano recital, outside play and hiking, Easter, soccer, the Michigan mile and some other miscellaneous events.

One warrants some explanation. Since she was three, Nellie has been, well, difficult to dress at times. You might have noticed, she likes to pick her own clothes. We keep her drawer stocked with things she'll wear, and that works well for us. But some days can be complicated. One day this spring, Nellie wanted to wear her tie-dye shirt from last summer's vacation. Alas, there were no clean and acceptable leggings. So she picked tights, and we had to tell her you can't just wear a t-shirt and tights. So she picked out the one skirt she had. The results are below...I actually took a picture because it was so colorful. Then Kevin took the girls to school and found out it was spring picture day. So Nellie brought home some colorful professional photos!

First soccer game! It was freezing. As in, 32 degrees.
