A taste of spring...

Warmth, sunshine and family....can't get much better than that! This weekend Joel took the babes on a long bike ride and then they came home and we played in the backyard. We played with their new pony from their Grandma Shari and we basked in the sunshine. And while I'll admit that I did enjoy winter this year(and i know there will be a bit more to come), outside on a blanket is our favorite place to be. I laid on that blanket feeling more content than I have in a long time, thinking about this season that is almost over. Though Amelia and Sam have both had their little bouts of illness (Amelia currently has a sore throat and is pretty miserable:( , they have been spared from RSV and anything else dangerous and we are so thankful. When I took Amelia to the doctor today he said that by the end of this month we can start putting our guard down and take the babes out and about with little worry. What a welcome change that will be!

So here are some pics of our day outdoors, a glimpse of what is to come...

Afternoon delight...
