Spring

Spring is here!  Finally!  What a long winter it has been.  But, strangely not really.   In terms of snow and ice, we didn't really get that much around here this year.  But, we sure got hit with a constant barrage of colds, ear infections, sore throats, and stomach viruses.  Someone was sick in our house for two months solid this winter.  Currently both of my boys are taking antibiotics.  But, I see the light or the sun rather.  

Today, we spent the morning at the park behind our house.  It was so gorgeous out.  70 degrees, no wind, perfect.  What was even more perfect was that two of my neighbors were there with their kids too.  It was so great just sitting and chatting with them.  That's what is hard about winter.  Not being able to have the random meetings at the park with friends.  It's such an unexpected surprise.  

This afternoon, we colored Easter eggs.  A fun, but messy tradition that must be maintained year after year.  I love coloring Easter eggs.  This was the first year that Braydon was old enough to enjoy it with help.  Payton even did everything herself.  Poor Bryce had to be content to sit and watch.  

To round out our perfect Spring day, Payton had her first spring soccer game tonight.  I love going out to the field to watch the kids play sports.  It's such a great family time.  Although it was very windy by tonight and Bryce was not happy about the wind at all.  Other than that it was a great time.  

I think I've made it.  The winter is behind us.  Easter is in 4 days.  Hallelujah!!!!
