Well, hey there! We've survived the 'most brutal winter in a dozen years' or something like that. The sad part is, the last 'record snows' the state had...is when we were in college here. Sigh.
But, all winter long, I kept my eyes on Easter. If we make it to Easter, I thought, life will be good! The babe will stop crying, and we'll have a bit more of a routine, and we'll be able to go outside again...
Heh. The babe mostly stopped crying- at least those eternal colic fits. And we sorta had a routine- which I promptly messed up by working again. Only part time, but still.
But I found my favorite fleece vest! And almost all the crazy work events are over! and it's 70+degrees out - at least part of the day! And... AND, the babe is LAUGHING. On purpose.
We're falling in love all over again. Ah, spring!
Speaking of Spring... though we live in an apartment, the grounds here are nice. We see all sorts of critters when we're out. A chipmunk that likes to race across our porch and under the table. Squirrels that like to bury their nuts in our planters. Large birds holding small ones in their talons. The occasional deer (while driving, not in our 'yard'). Oh, and falcons on the highway signs! Here: Bunnies, mostly at dusk. And- the best part- a pair of chickadees nesting in a birdhouse Kaden made last year! Right on our porch, which is pretty awesome to see and hear each morning.
And, of course, our favorite little groundhog- who may or may not be teething at 4 months. Drool or no, we'll keep him!
