A Little Quiet

 It finally feels like the end of the school year is near.  We've had so many snowy and cold days the past few weeks that I was beginning to wonder if warm days were ever going to come again.   But today the sun is shining warmly and it feels good.  Even the air smells different...you can smell the earth and the growing grass and it feels familiar. Hello spring, we've been waiting a long time for you.

I feel like I've been quiet on my blog lately...that always happens when life is stirring.  I want to write about everything that is going on, but I'm so afraid that if I put it out for everyone to see it will disappear and I'll be back at square one again.  So for now I'm enjoying these new warm days with my family and trying not to become too overwhelmed.   I know everything always works out the way it is meant to be and so it will this time too.

Everdeen Kate: I think Spring is finally here! Today we took two walks to make up for lost time. The sky is blue, the birds are chirping and I only have 17 more days of school before I get to spend every waking moment with you!

Everdeen Kate: I love when you wake up in the morning :)  Now you greet us by standing up and seeing the new day for yourself!

A Moment With No Socks

It's been almost a week now since the last day we could go outside and not freeze our behinds off.  This week has been lots of snow and ice and inside recess days. Last Saturday, Everdeen and I ventured outside for a few moments before the cold wind started up again and blew in another winter storm.  The sun was divine on our pasty winter skin and we practiced wearing-or rather eating- sun glasses for when the sun really does shine.  Winter is being mean and holding out longer than it should.  We are ready for warm days and shout it from the tops of our lungs every day! Please Spring, your season is almost up before it has even begun.  We would love to spend a few moments with no socks on feeling the newly green grass tickle our toes.

Everdeen Kate: This was such a big week for you! You are finally getting your first tooth at almost 9 months old. I was secretly worried that maybe you didn't have any teeth at all...but that's just my wild imagination for you :)
