Heat Wave!

I have been meaning to post this for awhile, but uh, we had a beautifully SHORT Winter this year and had amazing weather starting mid-March (70-80 degrees).  It was amazing.  It since has died down and is chilly again, but it was great while it lasted!  
Jada had to spend every morning for hours outside on our balcony enjoying the air, birds, and sun.  We also decided to go to Port Washington beach...I LOVE IT!  Such a nice day, sand, sun, blue water!  Ahhh, who says you need to live by the ocean, I did!  But now I am perfectly sold and convinced that Lake Michigan is in fact its own ocean ;)

a little of pb&j and sand for lunch..this is the cleaned up version

Boy did she have a hay day with the sand & water!

Matthew, Mom, Birg, Dad..that's the lighthouse we walked out to.

They had these stairs leading down to the beach (which I later found out you can park at the bottom) that I had to climb up holding Jada, chair and big bag full of stuff (she refused to walk on her own... The one time she doesn't like to climb stairs, honestly child).  Being pregnant and sick for months now I hadn't exercised since this moment.  My calves were sore for a week!  Not only sore but so stiff I walked like a mummy for days!  Oh my word, now that was a workout.  Oh and let me add...once we got to the top, Jada jumped out of my arms to go downstairs again...yeah right!!!  Dane didn't believe me when I said stairs...he imagined one flight...oh sure, give me a little more credit than that!

accidental video, i guess.  Here is Jada on the phone for literally 1 second of video.  If she calls you, this is what it usually looks like or she has you held in front of her since you are most likely on speaker.  She likes to roam and chat.
