"Happy Birthday to You!"

Many Birthday Celebrations have taken place around our "hearth" in the last few months. We delightfully recognized our little girl as she had her first birthday.

Then a few weeks later we welcomed our big boy as he turned three. We did have a bit more drama for his special day because he understood the occasion and was eagerly awaiting his turn to have a birthday. As you can see, he has been learning a new skill. Not only him but Mommy and Daddy too. There just might be a future family activity we all will enjoy.

Spring is starting to awaken us from our winter slumber. Of course, it is snowing as I write this but we have had some beautiful weather. The kids and I have been drinking in the sunshine and fresh air. We try to take more walks and have the pleasure of walking down our alley to the river. Fiel even enjoyed this particular journey.

We hope you all are doing well. Our move to Texas seems so near and so far away at the same time. In the movies it seems so easy to move from one home to another but there are so many little and big details that have to be worked out. Having dreams can be easier than acting them out but as we move closer to them we are filled with excitement and worry. Thank you all for your encouragement as we venture into a new chapter in our family's book.
