Dr. Bond!

 The big news around our house is that Morgan successfully defended his dissertation! We managed to not take a single photo of the actual event, but here he is at home enjoying some well deserved champagne. 


So excited we can do more fun things now as a family!  
At Discovery Park

 Happy Baby!








 More Discovery Park. We took a long hike, which was mostly successful. 













 Diaper baby


 Hanging out in the sun with Auntie Hallie

 Playing with the bunny from Auntie Buzzy
 And the skunk from Uncle Justin, Auntie Katie and Charlie
 Dressing Melina up in a tutu was the extent of our Easter celebration 





 Yes, that is a stuffed screwdriver. She has a whole toolbox that includes a little stuffed hammer and wrench. :-)

 Crazy hail storm! Just hours after Morgan got back from taking students to the Cedar River. 


 Swinging has become a regular event! We know now which of all of the local playgrounds have baby swings. 



Visit from Grandpa! He brought a new friend for Melina. 




 At the zoo in front of the wolves. 
 At the aquarium!
 Fascinated by the otters. 




We did the Earth Day 5k! It was great fun and our first use of our awesome jogging stroller (thank you Auntie Claire, Uncle Tony and cousins for passing it down to us! We love it.) We had such a good time but holy moly we were both incredibly sore the next day  - we used to run all the time but now it's been over a year! Looking forward to getting back to it now that we have the stroller up and running. 
 She was asleep for the whole race. 




 At the park with Grandpa


 The locks are always fun!
