Spring is here

Oh finally, nice weather! And finally, I'm feeling okay enough to venture outside. This weekend was awesome, but this lovely little bug in my belly didn't feel like celebrating so we spent most of Saturday inside with morning sickness...Or rather, all day sickness. Sometimes I think it would be easier to just get sick than feel icky all day. Luckily, late Sunday morning I was feeling much better and we all went outside to clean up around the house and blow bubbles in the driveway. It's such a nice feeling when your house is looking nice...The millions of pine needles all raked into one pile instead of lying all over the driveway. But I tell you what, I'll take pine needles over goat heads any day!

Anyway, while I made lunch for everyone Jason and the boys put the swing together on the back porch, which I'm happy to report is big enough to hold the swing, BBQ, and some toys. So today, while the boys are napping, Kodi and I are sitting out here enjoying the gorgeous weather, swinging away under the shade of our backyard trees, and listening to the birds chirping.

It's so peaceful...I don't remember the last time I just sat still to listen to nothing at all. I think I might have to sit out her everyday...I'm sure the baby is loving this rocking, and I'm definitely feeling at ease. No stressing, just relaxing and enjoying the moment. We should try to feel like this more often, shouldn't we...?
