One Month To Go

We're a month away from Clara and Maia's birthday and three days into May, and it's snowing! This spring has really tested everybody's patience, and the entire state of Minnesota is ready to move to California if the warmer weather doesn't show up, AND stick around.

Last week in fact, we had a couple of beautiful warm days that made me remember what it feels like to have the sun beaming onto my shoulders. I even worked up the courage to take ALL three girls for a walk together. We leisurely strolled down to the playground by Lake Calhoun where we played for an hour, before returning back home to meet up with Daddy. Lena was very well behaved and I am lucky she likes to stay close to Mommy and her sisters.

It now feels like months have past since that lovely spring day, though it was only last week. Outside the roofs are covered in white and the trees are blowing in the stormy wind. The birds and other animals have hidden somewhere, I don't know where, and all those people who came out in droves last week to experience the final arrival of spring (it has literally taken months) are hanging their heads low, and turning up the heat at home.
