What makes you smile? This is the first year that I was anxious for winter to be over. I couldn’t wait for warmer weather, sunshine, and birds tweeting outside my window. Personally, my favorite season is Autumn. I love everything about the crisp weather and warm layers. {I’m normally obsessed with everything pumpkin.} Even Halloween reigns supreme in my holiday book.
But this year? I’ll even welcome those muggy, wet days that bring the worms out. It just seemed like Mother Nature was being mean. Here in the midwest, we got a range of weird weather. Just when we’d get used to the cold and snow, there would be a random 3 day warm spell. Perhaps it just made the reintroduction to Winter harder. Perhaps its just because I’m getting older. But I suddenly realized why people move south. And I was tempted to join them. {LOL}
All that said, it was even more rough since the kids have hit that age of boundless energy. We didn’t get a chance to move into a larger home yet. So being crammed in a tiny apartment, with spring teasing us didn’t make it easier weathering cabin fever. Just when we’d get to stretch our legs the cold would come back to usher us inside.
But even those issues leave me knowing I’m so blessed to utter them. They are my dream job. The sunshine is finally here and I can’t wait for a season of spring time in the parks and summer festivals. I just grab more coffee and carry on. The road to motherhood was not an easy one. So I am simply grateful for each day.
Day 2 ==> Smile. My little man.
Can this kid light a room up or what? He’ll be a man of few words, but he doesn’t need them. Smart and silent with a budding sense of humor, he’s finally coming into his own. All boy baby! He loves keeping Momma on her toes…and smiling.
