Marching out

So it's spring! We're still waiting to get outside a bit more--it snowed this week. Elke is a ton of fun. She runs, hugs the dog, says "cracker" (a thousand times a day)and "bubble." She wears our shoes and carries around mom's purse or a basket full of toys and books. She likes to search for birds (with a whistle to accompany the search), draw with crayons, and did we mention she likes crackers? Here's the newest pictures.
