Sunshine!

Yes, sunshine is such a rare event here that I have to blog about it every time it shows up. I think today was our first full day of sunshine in the past month. We took advantage of it for a mini-photo shoot of the boys in their adorable new shirts a friend sent us. Sunshine is such a rare commodity here, that when we were outside taking pictures, Benjamin said, "Off the light!" while covering his eyes. (To which we replied: "Ummm... we can't. That's the sun.")

One of the decent photos

And here are a couple of the "how do the photographers get kids to pose together nicely?" photos. (The second is an "off the light" photo.)

Frederic also took advantage of the nice weather to plant his tomato seeds and some herbs for this year's garden. With any luck, we'll have some more sunshine soon and enough non-rainy days so that he can mow the grass soon, too.

Since we're now working on updating my office (stripping wallpaper, painting, and laying laminate flooring), Benjamin's table has been moved out of my office into the hallway for the time being. He doesn't seem to mind.
