Apparently not. There's another storm on the way.
The first day of Spring 2013 was a far cry from the same day last year.

| A whole year younger, Ruby enjoyed her snack outside - sans snow pants. |

| We played in the garden too. |
Isn't it fun to see how much she's grown and changed in one year? Leo was still a bump in my belly back then. I remember walking with Ruby to McDonald's for her very first ice cream cone during the week-long heat wave last Spring. I was sweating to death in my lovely support hose, twenty five pounds heavier than I am now. It was a fun day and I can't wait to do it again with both kids on the outside of my body. Hopefully that day will come sooner than later. The longer days certainly make a huge difference. I love waking up to the sun and having time to take the kids outside after supper. Summer is definitely on the way..... before we know it the socks will come off for good and the snow pants will be long gone, packed away for another year.
P.S. One baby is a piece of cake. Two babies... not so much. Kudos to all those moms out there who maintained their sanity while raising two (or more) kids at the same time. It's not easy. A special shout out to my friend Aimee who did it without the daily help of her mom, sister and other support. Happy Birthday Aimee! You're the greatest!
