Here To Stay?

...the nice weather, that it. What a beautiful day we had here today! I was unable to enjoy it because I was indoors at work all day, but Alex and the boys spent the afternoon tossing a baseball, kicking a beachball, running around the yard....what wonderful signs of spring. I am so thrilled because Alex will probably be taking Saturdays off from now on. He has worked 6 days a week, which includes evenings, far too long. And what perfect timing with the weather improving. We've already purchased our season pass to the zoo, we went our for ice cream on Sunday evening, and have even begun some spring cleaning around the house. Our schedules have been such that we are never all here at the same time. Thats not a good thing! Josiah was setting the table on Sunday afternoon and he paused for a moment, looked at his dad and me, and said, "Hey, this is going to be a nice family dinner." Yes it was, and there will be many more to come, including picnics on the beach, Josiah's favorite "meal."
