There's a lot I could say, catch up on, and remember.......
....but do you know?
Sping is here! I've been soaking it up, getting muddy and wind-whipped.
And a weird thing happened in the past few weeks. I spent a surprisingly greater amount of time with people, lots of different people and their kids, in the past couple weeks than with the blinking cursor.
I've been taking part in real life, and speaking of real life, I met my first blogging friend in person the other day. We weren't total strangers as I know her parents, but if it hadn't been for this cyber-world, we likely never would have had the reason to meet. She blogged about our morning together HERE, and it was such a pleasure to see her smiling face in person and to watch her adorable two-year olds. She's another mother of twins, and you can read about her adventures over at loving on you.
The rest of the real life I've been experiencing lately speaks for itself with this week's and last week's list:
I'm thanking God for:
#221. 4 sun-kissed faces sitting around the supper table
#222. cracking the window a bit during bedtime with the kids to lay and listen to the all swans camped out in our "back yard"
#223. toddlers re-discovering their little fenced in play area
#224. watching their adventures from the kitchen window
#225. Momma and Ava time watching an amazing high school production of Beauty and the Beast
#226. Daddy and Jack-Jack time
#227. the sweet smell of spring
#228. pushing, pushing, pushing toddlers in swings
#229. Ava singing, singing, singing while she swings
#230. the *squish* of the ground beneath mud boots
#231. snow melted off the garden!
#232. garden seed arriving in the mail
#234. grilling
#235. sitting on the deck reading a book
#236. the feeling of sun on bare skin!
#237. the endless chirping of so many birds
#238. the sound of the sliding screen door
#239. the sound of The Friend's piped out truck coming rumbling down the road
#240. so many little boys....do we realize, do I grasp that the next generation of men (and women) is playing at our feet and we're shaping them?

Spring is such a busy time! And your time with your children is much more important than your time blogging. But I am glad that you posted something.
And you met a blogger in real life, how exciting!
And, I wish Aaron would fix those darn pipes. They are so noisy.
Happy blogging!
Glad you've been able to be out and about and connecting more lately. It's definitely been a long winter of Ewing cooped up! Good to see an update from you and hear your thankfulness too. :-)
Something about the thought of pushing your kids on swings sounds so relaxing...really, it does! And all you have to be thankful for! Before you know it, we will have sand covered toes! Better get that manicure! :)
Hooray for meeting a blogging friend! Blogging friendships are awesome, but real life friends are that much sweeter. I hope someday we'll cross that bridge too. :)
