Open windows letting fresh spring air sift through and cleanse this house. Bright sunshine bursting in!  Life sprouting.  This is what we’ve been waiting for. The season shifting, breaking open to make room for new life to grow. Summer is just around the corner again! We’ve been busy soaking in the outside world. Walks, collecting worms.  Our spring break staycation is almost at an end, it started last Friday (Good Friday) and here it is Friday again and kids start school back up on Monday. The last two days have been like summer, so glad for them! We’ve been outside- a lot. We celebrated Easter. We had a cookout. We went to the movies to see the Mario Bros.

We had family time because we didn’t have play rehearsals or anything else to occupy our evenings.  Hope you all enjoyed your spring break whether it be this week, last or next, whether you stayed home or took a trip!

March seems to be flying by. The sun sets a little later, some of us are still getting used to losing an hour from this weekend time change. Lacrosse starts this month and sailing next and official spring the 20th!  I woke up this morning to rain tapping on the sunroof, little bare feet came and tucked themselves in next to mine after staying up til midnight waiting for me to get home. ❤️  There is a warning for a snow storm later on, or just rain. We’ve only gotten one snow storm this year so it wouldn...
