Spring Fever

The past few days have been so unbelievably nice here in Virginia. I am definitely a fan of spring and I am so thankful when it starts to appear. Everything is just so new and fresh, the birds seem so happy, the trees are budding, and the flowers are blooming. I love the smell of the fresh spring air too! I thank God for this wonderful time of year. His promise of new joys and new life are wonderful!

Once Sierra got feeling better (she still has a bit of a cough, but is pretty much back to 100% from last week at this time - Thanks for all the prayers) we decided it would be nice to get some fresh air. So the other day we took a walk around our neighborhood.  It was still a little breezy, so Sierra wore her hat to keep her ears protected. She loved seeing all the birds flying around and the ducks (we have LOTS of ducks). Currently she says "baa" for "bird" - then again, "baa" also means "book", "ball", and "baa-baa" means "bye-bye." I guess I should give the kid a break, she is only 11 months old! :) She is so cute though, pointing to the birds in the sky as they fly past and pointing at all the ducks. I am so excited for these walks to become a daily thing around here. Lord knows I could sure use the exercise! :)

Today it was a wonderful 79 degrees and breezy here. Sierra and I took a walk up to the grocery store. We needed some milk, yogurt, bananas, and potatoes (the essentials). :) It was fabulous to get out and get some fresh air.  I hear the weather is suppose to be a little cooler; however, we do have plans to go to the park tomorrow. Sierra's first time at the park. I will try to post pictures of that soon!  Until then, here are some pictures of our walk the other day....

PS - Notice Sierra's outfit? We are sooo ready for the NFL Draft and Spring Training! Is it football season YET?!?!?

Look Ma-ma! Baa! (aka - Ducks)

Ducks!
