Spring is Here, No it's Not



It's been a very cold, long winter here. Maybe we will get some pity for this from our family in Florida but I'm sure our friends and relatives in Chicago, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island won't spare any sympathy for us Kansans.

Since his birth in November, Levi's only experience with the great outdoors was being shuttled to and from the car, in his carseat, shrouded under several layers of blankets. Last weekend, however, it warmed up considerably and we had 60 degree plus days. Lucas and I took Levi for a walk in his stroller. Levi looked around with great intensity, his eyes wide open. He seemed to be thinking, "Wow, this 'outside' is HUGE!! Why is it so bright? Why is the air moving around? Where is the carpet that I like to spit up on??"

Sadly, the warm weekend which we interpreted as a harbinger of spring turned out to be just a cruel tease. This week we've had windy, cold days again. It's back inside with us...
