afternoon at the park
the weather was lovely today (mid 70's), so we went to the park. there is a nice little park about 10 minutes from us, that has a good playground. it's tucked away in a really nice neighborhood. some of the parks out here are pretty old and run down, which makes me miss liberty park a lot.
malcolm liked going through the tubes, and all that static electricity made his hair very wild!

visitors
this past week, we've had a few house guests. danny's friend lizzy and her boyfriend mike, stopped here wednesday and stayed the night, on their way moving across the country. and then our friend justin came out and stayed the night on friday, to catch a movie with danny. we all really enjoyed having them over. malcolm was very friendly and had lots of fun with them too. he is really good with people he doesn't know, he isn't scared to make new friends, which i think is great!

our weekend (sunday)
on sunday, we went out to danny's mom and dad's house to celebrate our birthday and have easter dinner (danny's birthday was the 8th, mine was the 9th). the food was great! vicky made us lasagna and pot pie. and for dessert: tiramisu, blueberry/pineapple crisp, and a chocolate covered boston creme filled birthday cake with chocolate covered strawberries! everything was vegan and delicious. she spoils us!
we loved being outside, it was sunny and nice. here is malcolm with grandpa dan on the motorcycle
vicky was teaching him how to blow on a dandelion
we found this caterpillar nest in the plum tree. it was crazy. i've never seen anything like it. kinda gross (they were crawling all over it, very fast, and they were inside of it and out), but really interesting at the same time. apparently they are called eastern tent caterpillars, because of the "tent" nests that they build.

malcolm liked to look at it too
he loves this dead deer toy. it plays music, lights up, and the deer lifts it's head and opens it's mouth to sing. pretty funny. especially since he is vegan :)

our weekend (saturday)
the weather this weekend was great, so we spent a lot of time outside. on saturday, our family went to the duke gardens in durham. we love to go there. it is really pretty, especially during this time of the year, when the flowers are starting to bloom. plus, there is a large grassy area, where alanna and malcolm can run around (our yard is not suitable for such activities).

yes, that frisbee hit me in my shoulder, about a second after i snapped this photo

sheesh, alanna is growing up... fast!
on the way out, we saw a beautiful bride having professional photos taken. i snapped this one from the back. her dress was a pale pink/champagne color. she looked lovely surrounded by the garden.
