Spring is just around the corner and we are brimming with excitement. A few days of warm weather has wet our appetite for the Spring...and apparently brought about some Spring showers...ok, maybe they could not be classified as "Spring Showers," but at least it is getting close! 
I gave in today to the constant question, "Mom, I wanna go play in the rain! Mom, Mom, MOOOOOM!" I thought let's do it, let's just show these kiddos just how miserable that really is! Well, I was wrong...they had a blast, as did I watching them give in to all those things we get so used to squelching...splashing in the puddles, getting filthy, splashing their brother/sister...BRING IT ON, RAIN! Let it pour! We will celebrate the warm weather rain or shine. You can't rain on our parade...we will parade on...and love every minute of it. Ok, enough about the rain...back to SPRING!!!!!
Some of the joys that this Spring will bring...our very first vegetable and herb garden!!!, planting flowers, enjoying our back yard with my flagstone terrace I made last fall (come grill-out with us!) - it's not so even, but charming just the same!, Easter Eggs, sundresses (some to be sewn by yours truly!!! - another new adventure of mine), picnics, camping and hiking, trip to the beach...we are thinking Charleston somewhere, letting the kids play in the dirt barefoot...maybe even a new pet (Addison has been begging for one...maybe we will just start with a hermit crab!)! "These are just a few of my favorite things..." Oh, I can hardly sit still just thinking about all the fun things to do this Spring...HOPE is Springing anew! Ok, enough I know!
Let me just say "WE LOVE YOU, SPRING!"
We are blessed, life is full, and God is good...oh, so GOOD!
