Another baby video

It's a beautiful, sunny, spring-like day here in DC. While the cold, snowy weather has been fun, it's good to see some signs of spring like the daffodils coming up on the hillside below the Rose Park that runs down to Rock Creek. In the summer, that hillside is a jungle while it's barren during the winter. But for one month out of the year, lots of daffodils pop up for the enjoyment mainly of drivers on the parkway.

Unfortunately, we haven't planted any daffodils or tulips of our own, unlike those in the yard of our old house in Pittsburgh. And we certainly don't have a backyard in the summer like we had in Pittsburgh, because even though our backyard there was small and shady, our current back patio is even smaller and shadier.
Maybe once we move to our new place in a month, we'll find that its sunnier. The house itself certainly will be since it has windows on three sides instead of two like we have now, but the back patio is even smaller so we'll see.

But you're not here to read musings about backyard gardens and spring flowers. You're here for a baby fix! After the excitement of having a new fridge delivered (I told the deliverymen that they were "superstars" for being able to get the old one up and the new one down our front stairs), we walked around with Maddie and our friend Rodah from Pittsburgh before stopping at the park to play on the swings. Margaret was actually more interested in watching the big kids running around the park than swinging or playing with me. Afterwards, we headed home where Margaret played with her favorite Xmas present (care of Aunt Eleanor) and her favority puppy dog. Here's the resulting video
