Ready For Spring!

Two weeks ago today, we were in warm, sunny Naples, Florida for a mini-vacation. While it wasn't HOT, it was nice enough to wear short sleeves, eat lunch outside and even take a dip into the heated pool where we were staying. Our activities were all outdoors - the Naples Zoo, the Everglades Wonder Garden, the Children's Museum (indoors/outdoors), walks and golf (for Grammy and Daddy). And it was just enough of a taste of spring/summer that has all of us VERY anxious for the spring, despite returning to a snowstorm the next day.

Not spring like sneezing and eyes watering from allergies, but spring like flowers, leaves blooming on the trees, a certain little boy's 3rd birthday and the ability to go for a walk outside without freezing to death. Now that we've all "sprung forward" and it's staying light outside later, it's harder to convince the kids it REALLY is bedtime at 7:45 pm when it's still light out. Though, the time change was nice for a week or so when the kids were sleeping late!

Spring is also a time for change. With our house on the market now, there will hopefully be some good changes coming for us soon...
