And yet, I haven't felt like saying much.
But look who's learning how to walk?
Sara turns one next week and we are all anticipating that great event! It's fun to have Matthew and Ella Jane to fuel the excitement so this week will be spent planning her little party.
Jim had his annual bbq for the student leaders today and when he had this event last year, we had just come home from the hospital. Literally, that very day. Jim was busy. I was not. I was holed up upstairs with my cutie little baby. Matthew and Ella Jane played outside with the students and I remember watching them and being glad that they were entertained.
And so here we are one year later, we just said goodbye to the students and Jim is cleaning up while Matthew is complaining of a sore tummy which is probably the result of too many hotdogs and too much lemonade.
It's been our first muggy day although not too bad really. There is a tornado watch for the night and I am quickly reminded that we are now into spring! I love the springs here, summers too actually. Our time in Maryland got me accustumed to the hot and humid. I love that you can go outside, turn on some hose water and not be cold if it gets all over you!
We had our first hot day last week and have already broken out the pool and the slip n' slide and the popsicles! I love that, for the most part, you live outside during these hot days. Play in the water, dig a hole in the dirt, jump in the pool, walk up the hill and so on.
It's life as a child, pure and simple. And I love that.
