Welcome to my doorstep, March

I left the computer off all weekend. It was a wonderful break.

But now a new week is rolling forward. And a new month.
Hello March.

I woke up to a messy house, a bright blue sky and a baby with an exploding diaper. I’ve started supplementing Leah’s bottles. One bottle a day of mommy’s milk just wasn’t enough and I knew she wanted more. The problem is trying to figure out what to give her. We are a month and half away from being one year old. She’s much happier now with a fuller tummy but I’m not sure her bowels are.

This is happening in my front yard…

LOVE IT!

I took a blanket out to the front lawn today and spread it over the yellow dormant grass. Grabbed a book and the baby and soaked up as much vitamin D as we could. We watched brother zip around the circle on his scooter. It’s near 50 degrees. I can’t help but take a great big deep breath, lay back on the blanket and enjoy the warmth of the sun while the freckles pop out across my nose.

Feels so good…

…for a minute. And then I have to hop up and stop Leah from eating the flower beds. Does dirt and bark fill some sort of mineral deficiency in children? Hope so.

    I saw daffodils this morning, too, though it is still in the 40′s and mostly covered with ugly icy snow. Spring will be coming!

    I have to admit I’m a bit envious of you who have this wonderful and glorious transition from winter into spring. It’s all one and the same here. And spring mostly just means that soon it will be getting VERY hot. Enjoy that healing sunshine! I love that photo.
