Spring and snow storms

Currently:

Snow storming


Very pregnant. Measuring a week ahead and excited that baby Eli will be in my arms any time now! 


Sitting next to this.


Yesterday, spring slid in for the day to tease us. The skies broke out in a brilliant blue and the world smelled of fresh, thawed earth. A spongy ground cushioning our steps. As the afternoon grew warmer, the kids slowly ripped off their hats, gloves and eventually, jackets too. Perfectly content digging in the half snow/half mud mixture until late afternoon.

I have watched them explore this yard for several seasons now. I think spring time is my favorite to witness. Mud and all.
























Josie found her first worm of 2014. She named it Cindy. Ashton was pretty sure it was dead but Josie didn't care.








Sliding with Cindy the dead worm.
























Saint Patrick's day crafts-




Preparing our Leprechaun trap. Each year, the kids build a "trap" to catch the Saint Patrick's day leprechaun.






Random bits from the past month:

Josie's ballet play date with one of her bff's from church and our homeschool group. They are only a month apart in age!


She came home with a lollipop and "the busy girl who has been out on the town" attitude.


Grandpa had a quick visit up from Florida!


A fever that lasted 3 days


An awesome birthday package from Aunt Kim and Uncle Bob -Complete with the coolest super hero shirt ever!


An awesome picture Ashton drew for me. It is hugely pregnant me with Eli in my belly. Complete with an umbilical cord and placenta. .....Ashton has been reading a lot about the human body in his science book lately.


General at home-ness.




Josie still dresses several times a day.




Off to start dinner. Much love. xoxo, Jessie
