April (snow) showers bring... ?!?

This week was full of snow! Yep - April snow-showers are going to bring our May flowers this year.  Leinna just loves being outside and she always has.  One thing nice about spring snowstorms is that it stays lighter and we get to see the sun peak through after the storm.  With the sun shining bright this morning, Leinna was itching to go outside and play.  We headed to our local park - even though it's still covered in snow.  Leinna thought it was pretty fun that she could "touch the ground" while sitting on the big girl swing. With every spring storm, comes more snow shoveling...  Don't you love how Leinna's helping shovel the deck off?  Such a little helper these days...

and growing into quiet the little girl.  Papa and I were just talking the other day about how grown up she seems these days.  She's sitting at the table without a booster, going potty all by herself, and has learned how to put her shoes and coat on independently (well, about 90% of the time).  After she finished painting a picture this morning, she says to me, "Momma, I need to put my name on it."  Okay- I said, thinking she would do some kind of random scribbles.  She wrote a line for each letter - and had the correct amount of lines for the number of letters in her name.  Man - I'd better not blink or she'll be headed off to college before I know it.

As for our little Mister - he's busy filling his belly - must be preparing for another growth spurt. 

So cute watching him dunk his cracker in a fruit spread.  

I think I'd better start a food savings account for when he's a teenager because he's already starting to eat me out of the house! 

  

No further news about where we are headed after Cordova.  We've had some interest in the house and made some contacts with principals in Anchorage, but nothing is official yet. It's challenging to be patient and wait for things to unfold ... definitely a lesson in prayer and trust. 

We hope you are enjoying spring-time in your neck of the woods!
