Spring, where are you?

This weekend we got a sneak peak of Spring and now I am hooked. Being outside, roaming jacket free, and working in the backyard was made possible by the sunshine and a refreshing 60 degrees. With the news that cold and rain is returning I am feeling a little blue. But, the truth of the matter is in no time at all it will be wicked hot and we will be complaining about the heat.

Too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry...maybe being happy with what is going on right now is the way to be. Nick is the perfect example of someone who is happy regardless. On days I say, "stay in, it's chilly" he says, "I'll wear a coat." On days it's too hot he grabs a Popsicle on the way out there door. Since Nick was a baby people have asked if he is always smiling and the answer is yes...unless he is being beaten or harassed by his brother and sister. His smile is contagious, a face you can't help but kiss. I am smitten with that boy.

Lesson for the day...not to sound uber-cliche but, learning to bundle when it's cold and enjoy a lemonade when it's steamy would probably make you happy enough to climb a tree. Have I mentioned that kid has the greatest face in the history of faces?
