It feels as though this month is quickly wriggling by. Just a couple weeks ago was General Conference (which I'm STILL trying to catch up on), we raced through Easter and touched down on Earth Day a few days ago. Somehow in April's haste to dissolve into May we have managed to hollow out gaps of time and fill them with fresh homemade summery beverages, planting seeds and onions on the "farm", and taking time as a family to appreciate spring. The Stokes Nature Trail & Center up the canyon has become a haven of energy, cheer, exercise and fresh air for Violet and I. It's wonderful to trot along the trail discovering all the different colored rocks (we learned about the color pink our last trip up there), twigs and sticks of every size, and bugs and birds if we're lucky. We love it so much we decided to take Daddy up there for a picnic on Earth Day. We munched on pb&j sandwiches, watermelon, and fed the ducks floating in the river. Back at home we planted pansies and checked our herb garden. It was decided we need to get a pot for some rosemary. In the midst of all this we have been potty training, improving our mommy and me yoga, reading so many books (Mary Higgins Clark for me!), sneezing so much more than usual (we have the WORST allergies this year), and planning a week vacation to Denver, Colorado. We've been looking at homes, community summer programs to get involved in, dabbling in new recipes (all things homemade), and have begun running together (Cristian and I) at least once a week on top of our other daily workouts.
Cristian and I were talking the other night about how we're in the "waiting stage" right now. And how there is sure to be more stages like this. It's teaching us patience which isn't always easy, but through waiting for certain things we hope when we finally can do what we want it will have been worth it.
We can't wait to build or purchase a home. Acquire a second car. Get me back into school to finish my degree. Travel. It's exciting to think about and plan, and we're for the most part rolling with the punches. Happiness to you and yours from us :D
