Our Five Ring Circus: Spring Has Sprung!

Spring Has Sprung!

Pennsylvania was blessed with a very mild winter this year, followed by an early Spring. We have been loving all this warm, sunny weather! Everything feels so new and refreshing.

I must be getting very nostalgic now that my third baby is here. Perhaps it's because I know just how quickly time passes once you have children, and just how quickly those children grow up. As the weather warmed up, I began to savor all the precious moments. I am captivated by the carefree innocence of my children, and am trying to absorb all these memories.

We spent a lovely day with Grant's family yesterday afternoon. I stepped back and quietly captured all the sweet moments. These moments are the ones I will hold onto forever.

Skinny legs with scraped up knees, shoved into over-sized rain boots.

Sundresses and polka dot rain boots. The cutest, quirkiest combination.

The endless searches for frogs.

Siblings that may fight at times, but are the best of friends.

Days so full and enjoyable that sleep comes quickly.

Old and new.
