Since moving to Wyoming, I have really enjoyed having the four seasons again. However, I never miss California more than in the spring time. By March I have had enough snow and am ready for 60 degree days. Sunny spring days here bring so much excitement as we are surrounded by friends who have baby animals being born and new growth coming from the plants, trees, flowers.
However, as I said, I never miss California more than in the spring because just when I think spring has sprung, we wake up to...
YEP! You guessed it, the morning after we went to see the baby calf, we woke up to a few inches of snow. To make matters more fun, it was the first day of our Spring Break, some spring break I know. The kids were as sick of snow as I was so it made for a long week of being indoors since it stayed cold all week. This was only the beginning, the next Monday when the kids were supposed to head back to school, (yeah for Mom) it snowed again; dumping over a foot of snow on us this time. (I didn't get a picture of this though) So school was canceled and the Mayor of Sheridan declared it a snow emergency and the town shut down for the day. The kids didn't return to school until Tuesday afternoon. AUGH! I don't mind April Showers, but when they come in the form of 12 inches of snow I am sorely upset! So here is to a hope for Spring and a return to 60-70 degree days.

Oh man!! I couldn't agree more! It's been snowing today and we didn't get 12 inches but I am completely ready for spring. I hope you're doing ok with your pregnancy. We're praying for you.
Aaaaamen!
Your yard looks like ours this morning--Please give me spring! I love you baby girl's name. Hope you are surviving--I remember Matt and trying to hold my belly up so the veins didn't kill. I think of you all alot--but, I'm not a good communicator.
