Spring Forward...Maybe?

The weather WAS absolutely gorgeous....what the #$%& happened? We took advantage of the sun's short stay and had a play date at Liberty Park with Colett http://yarroville.blogspot.com/ and her kids and Stephanie and her kids. We went to the Tracy Aviary and checked out all the crazy birds and the kids even got to feed the pelicans some fish! We had a great time playing all day and soaking up the rays. On Sunday, we did a family BBQ at my parents house and then went for a walk to make room in our very full bellies for my mom's peach cobbler. It was great to feel the warm sun on our faces and then look up at the snow capped mountains. If only it had stayed up there! Emerson loves to be outdoors! I think he had cabin fever just as bad as I did! He was born in the fall and being the nervous first time parents that we are, we rarely took him out this winter because we were so afraid of RSV, earaches, influenza and colic. We managed to go the whole winter without even a hint of a runny nose! Well, he just turned 7 months on April 6th and we love watching him be amazed at the ducks that come and visit our yard once a day, playing in the shade on a blanket under a tree just about to leaf out and strolling through the hood visiting with neighbors and friends. Spring really is upon us, it's just playing a very cruel joke right now and it's the only one laughing.
