First of all, I KNOW that I am so, so behind on blog posts! I blame my very old yet trusty laptop that just does not have enough storage space. I've had several photos ready to download from my camera for a while now, but I had to move other photos to the external drive to make space. I'm sure there is an easier solution (perhaps buy a new laptop?!), but this is my method! :)
A few weeks ago, just as Spring was arriving in northern Virginia, I caught Jude putting these sunglasses on. I don't even know where he found them, but it made me think, I am so, so, so, so glad that winter is O-V-E-R. We had an ultra mild winter in our part of the country. We never even got a real snow, which means that Jude's Christmas present from his grandparents--a snowsuit--is still hanging in the closet sporting its tags. But regardless of weather, this is one of the more severe winters of my whole life! I think that at least one person in our household was sick (and most of the time more than one) every single week between Christmas and the end of February. We saw the pediatrician at least once a week and most of the time twice a week during that time and even got to spend a whole weekend at Hotel INOVA Fairfax Hospital courtesy of an awful RSV virus that Corinne picked up--poor baby. That was definitely the lowest point of our winter, but we are very grateful that we got admitted to the hospital because she received excellent care and was better within a few days.
We have been enjoying Spring for a couple of weeks now. Mostly 60-70 degree weather with some days spiking to the low 80s. It is delightful, and the kids and I are loving getting outside to play and go on walks often! Of course, the fact that Spring sprung early might have an ultra hot summer in store for us, but I'm not going to think about that right now...
I'll make more posts throughout the week now that I have lots of photos on my computer ready to share!
