Three Cheers for Spring.

Spring is here....sort of.  We've had some lovely, warm, and even hot days this spring.  Days where the kids have wandered around outside coatless and shoeless.  We've also had some wintery, snowy, down right cold days as well, where the winter coats and hats and gloves had to be dug back out to make their appearance....again.

Nevertheless, it's good to know that spring is here, to see the blossoms on the trees and the grass changing from its drab shade of brown to a beautiful green once again.  Its good to get outside.

Welcome back, spring.

Where to Begin?

Well, hello again!  It's good to be back! 

It's weird to look at the computer screen again after six weeks of....not looking.  But lent is over and Easter has come, ALLELUIA! 

The Lord has risen, he is risen indeed!

Where to begin...so much has happened, yet really not, when I think about it.  We're all still here, doing the same things we always do.  There have been a few big events however which have spiced up the ordinary days....Evelyn turning two, Annie turning seven, Thomas making his First Holy Communion,  Annie starting soccer and Thomas starting flag football, planting a garden, and of course celebrating Easter.

Thomas received his First Holy Communion on April 16.  It truly was a beautiful day.  I can't believe that we are already here...where our oldest is old enough to receive Jesus.  It feels just like yesterday that I was taking this chubby little thing to daily mass at St. Joseph's and having him fall asleep in my arms....

Evelyn turned TWO on April 6th.  TWO.

And Annie turned SEVEN on April 18th.

The Mustangs....Thomas' flag football team.

The Flames...Annie's soccer team.

Easter.  What a beautiful, most welcomed day Easter Sunday was.  It was a good, long, lent that made Easter truly a day to celebrate!  And we get to celebrate for 50 days!!!!
