I doubt I'm alone when I admit that for the past few weeks, we've been in suspended animation. Anxious for Spring to arrive, sick of winter, snow, frigid temperatures and putting on 4 x mitts, hats, snowpants, neckwarmers, boots and coats anytime we want a change of scenery. The kids (and I) have a bad case of cabin fever, coupled with months of coughs and runny noses. It's been a bit of a long haul.
However, for some reason, today feels like a shift forward. Maybe because the snow is finally starting to recede, or because the birds are singing - albeit tentatively - and the sun is shining. Maybe because the kids actually walked to preschool this morning. Or maybe (in fact, most likely) because Malcolm slept better last night. No matter, it feels good.
A few pictures from the past few days....
Hello!
Aunt Benny came back from New Orleans with some pseudo pet alligators. The kids named them Sloopy (Colin), Lucy (Keith) and Dori (Evelyn). They love watching them grow! Best pets ever....

Yes, it is April and my winter decorations are still up. Then again, it still looks like winter outside, too. So I'm on par with Mother Nature.
