Spring has sprung...

I know it has been a while since I last posted--I have just not been in the mood to share anything for a while.  I started school in January, which has kept me pretty busy (along with my PRESCHOOLER, yes she's preschool age now).   A lot has happened in the past few months and nothing positive has really happened....until now.  It's finally Spring!  We get to go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather, and boy let me tell you, it has really improved my mood!  It's amazing what a little sunshine and heat can do for a girl.  Macie is so much happier now since she gets to go outside and run off all of her energy for most of the day.  She is to the age now (3 years 3 months to be exact) that I will let her play in our backyard without me outside with her.  I will just open the windows so I can see her while I get lots of housework done.  We have a huge fenced-in yard, so no worries! :)  She gets to play with our dog Tex and they have so much fun together.

Sunny days = Lots of outdoor playing! :)

Park Playdate--

Today, we got to take a trip to the park to play with Izzy, one of my best friend's daughter.  Tiffany, my friend, and her husband now live in Michigan so we NEVER get to see them.  Whenever Macie and Izzy were babies, not even able to walk yet, Tiffany and I would take them for walks around the same park we visited today--we were trying to walk off our baby weight. :)  Now Tiffany has a new little one, Noah.  He was born last month and is such a sweet little guy--such a good baby!  I really miss my sweet friend so much.  I wish I would have thought to take a picture of the two of us together today, but we were too busy talking and making sure our little ornery girls weren't getting into too much trouble. 

Playing at the park with old friends!

Look at this sweet guy--Noah

Here's our girls almost 3 years ago and today:

They're growing up too fast!!!

About 6 months old!

About 8 months old!

   



I am so glad that the weather is looking up and I hope it stays this way--life is so much more fun outside!  I think Macie and I will head to Wally World to purchase a new blowup pool for the year.  Too fun--stay tuned for our Spring/Summer adventures!  I hope you're all enjoying this weather as much as we are!!! :)
