in other news, we got a new roof last week!  the old roof was at least 20 years old with 2 layers, so we are all updated and not leaking now.  roofers are definitely quite loud but ada didn't seem to care!


we also have some signs of spring around the yard!   these cute, purple flowers show up under our japanese maple each spring.


and these are ada's namesake's irises popping up to enjoy the warm air... 


ada and i have also been enjoying the spring temps by taking some walks around the neighborhood.  the baby bjorn is winning out over the stroller so far in terms of baby happiness.
