A Taste of Spring

Wow - I had no idea how much the weather can affect our moods.  We've been inside all winter - both with baby and the historic snowstorms - you almost forget what a sunny day feels like. :)

After we cancelled our mommy-date since everyone was snowed in - literally, Heather was joking that she'll have to plan her 2nd baby to be a summer delivery.  Being stuck inside with a newborn, bundling up, and dealing with cabin fever isn't a new mom's best option.  With the break in temperature, we're outside as much as we can be, walking everywhere, planting the garden, working outside.

Ellie spent her first day outside with me in the bouncy chair, while I turned the soil and threw in an early crop of kale, collard greens, mesclun, beets, radishes and some chinese cabbage (whatever that is).  She just hung out the entire time!  Perfect little angel.  The neighbor came over and asked to borrow a shovel.  She laughed and smiled at him for almost 20 minutes.  He brought her back some crocus(es) for 'her garden'. 

How can you avoid being in a good mood?!
