Hello Spring

Well, I know its early in the month.  But we're going to tell ourselves that the Ides came in February and that they are not staying for March.  This means we can breathe deeply and freely in this gorgeous spring weather.

Reason #1 I love Spring...
...The sprinkler!



Between there and here, we had a backyard picnic.  I Love Spring Reason #2.  Picnics.

Then while I was inside showering the two Bigs, Sagie discovered the mud, and her papa didn't have the heart to stop her...


Now they're all three clean and pajama-ed.  Ryan is in the kitchen brewing beer and reading a chapter book aloud to them.

This life...it is good.

Oh, and one more thing.  Some of you kindly asked how I celebrated my birthday last week...
...those, my friends, are some serious bling jeans.

Mom took me shopping for jeans, Ryan took me out to dinner, Elisabeth and Wesley babysat (for freeeeeeeeee), and I celebrated that I'm still good with publishing a picture of my 33-year-old a-double-s.  

Happy Spring, one and all!
