Springtime

To my absolute pleasure, spring came early this year.  Our cherry tree was covered in gorgeous blooms so I decided to do a photo shoot.  Tessa wasn't sure she liked being hoisted up into the tree, but she was a good sport anyways.    

We have been making the most of the beautiful weather with lots of outside playtime.  Tessa loves to play at "her park," as in the swing set in the backyard.  

And wow does she like to swing high.  I told her that when I was a little girl we had a big tree next to our swing set and I would always try to touch the leaves with my toes.  She now does the same thing.  We must have taken twenty pictures of this pose, she thought it was extra funny to say cheese while upside down.   

And then, just for fun we took pictures in front of the azaleas.  Such a pretty girl.
