Really, really, really tired of snow and cold. Ready for sunshine and I know everyone else is too around here.

I am sorting and deleting photos (my computer says I have over 7000 photos....really?). Finding these precious pics of Mieke just makes me smile....big! She has such a personality and energy. We are tired to the bone most days but so blessed with this little girl.

In these two photos yes, she's cute, but they say a lot about her personality. I asked her to hold my cone while I took the photo. Never got that cone back. That water balloon is headed for Papa Ulven's pant leg and cousin Sean knows it! It was rescued by Papa at the last minute. But look at her face! She is 2 in these photos.

Now she reads and rides a bike and still.....she's our teenie weenie!

Even though the temps are in the 70's and the water is freezing, it is 100% better than snow, ice and freezing temps in Iowa! Myrtle Beach, SC, Spring Break 2013.

Just relaxing, eating like pigs and enjoying being together. That middle shot is from Medieval Times, a dinner "theater". We succumbed to tourist trap entertainment but the food was good and the show well-polished. Today we walked along a salt marsh and drove around Pawley's Island.

Not too many spring break folks here which is nice. Quiet and not crowded. And now it's time to decide what to eat for dinner.....vacation is so hard.....
