The BigThaw

Well, no sooner than we make our gripes about the world's longest winter officially known, the chilly season goes and does a runner on us. Not that we're complaining. FINALLY spring is springing and we're cruising right along beside her.

To commemorate the grand event Kaiva came over after Latviesu skola and joined Mudzuks for a tour through the old 'hood. Strangely, Mamuks says she can already imagine us as moody teenagers....


But Mamuks really has nothing to worry about - we'll still take Jungle Gyms and Jumping in General over Jim Beam any day.
Meanwhile Vecais is thrilled to finally be able to let his inner sunitis (dog) wreak havoc in the backyard: you know, growling, barking, drinking the melted snow in the toboggan, digging up the plants and peeing on the lilac tree (well, four out of five --so far--, anyways).



And then Mamuks and Papuks joined the young Springophiles in the woods to bid adieu to the last of the white stuff. No matter how much we complained about the winter, parting is still such sweet sorrow...
