Bye-bye Oma! Hello spring!

I "pushed" Oma to the airport. I really did want her to stay a little longer, 

but pushing the luggage on rollers is just SO much fun. 

I checked Oma's bags to make sure she wasn't carrying any contraband. 

Oma gave me her final smooches of the trip.  

But there was one more thing Oma and I just had to do together...

ride the escalators at the airport!!!!!!!

I'm really good at getting on and off already, but I still like to practice 

my skills any chance I get.  After a few trips up and down, 

it was time to say good-bye to Oma. 

I'll miss you but can't wait until my April trip to Florida!

Finally, here's a shout out to one of my biggest fans, Miss Hannah 

(whom I firmly believe lives at Mommy and Daddy's office). 

She's the one who introduced me to fade lights. My life was never the same after! 

Anyhoo, Mom and I stopped by to visit Miss Hannah after the airport

 for a little pick-me-up (literally and figuratively). 

Back at the homestead, Dad's work shoes double as clown shoes!

In honor of a sunny day and hopes for spring, Dad and I planted some seeds. 

Yep, Grandpops, I'm still a lefty!

We planted my favorite fruit - the cantaloupe! They require 70 - 80 degree weather. Unfortunately, it is still freezing cold here. 

Fortunately, Mom keeps it a sweat-inducing 80 degrees inside the house. 

The seeds will hopefully be germinating in a few weeks 

while sitting on an indoor window sill.   

Be sure to check out all the new posts that went up around the same time! 

I also updated the post from Henry's visit with a few new photos from Uncle Jon.

See you later alligator...
