uh oh

Solomon's birthday coincided with the return of the sunshine and all things green. Missoula has transformed herself overnight. All of her inhabitants walk around with giddy grins after months and months of the grimaces brought by too much gray and white. I again wholly proclaim, I love it here.

Mother's Day was a mellow, sweet affair. Downtown gave us plenty to do and between parades and pony rides, we were pretty damn satisfied. The all you can eat sushi dinner, all in the name of Japan disaster relief was a perfect ending. Oh how Els loves her fresh salmon. Sol seems to be more of a tempura guy.

The best thing about the return of the sun is that our house multiplies in size. Where once we were stepping on each other and tripping over down coats, we can now enjoy our yard, our deck, our swing. And that gives Sol all sorts of new things to get nutty about. His first words beyond Mom and Dad, "Uh oh...!" Uh oh is right.
