It's coming...

I bundled my kids up this morning to go on a walk. The garage was frigid.

In all fairness to the garage, it is subterranean and it's cold in the summer.

But still.

Everyone was wearing boots and a jacket.

Then Joshua lifted the garage door, and the light flooded in.

And something else...

Warm(ish) air.

Oh yes...

It's coming...

And all of the sudden, everything seemed right in the universe. The birds chirped and Joshua chirped back, Lily melted frequently onto the neighbors' deer-poop-ridden yards, Eva complained about how much her tummy hurt since she refused to eat anything for breakfast, and I kept telling Eden to stop moving the umbrella that was keeping the searing light from frying their retinas, and Eden blamed Leah for moving the umbrella, and Leah screamed bloody murder because she was moving the umbrella and Eden kept taking it away from her, but she kept grabbing for it because it was a magical canopy of fantasticalness and she had to touch it.

Yes, indeedy.

It's coming...

I'm so ready for spring.
