Spring!

Can I just say that I LOVE spring? Every year, I forget just how much I love it until it comes, and then I get to fall in love with it all over again. We have had two BEAUTIFUL, absolutely gorgeous, God-is-just-showing-off days, and, after a week of rainy weather, they have amazed us even more. They have even inspired me to get out and run, and so after languishing for an embarrassingly long time at 25, my "Days Run in 2009" count is up to...27:). Woo-hoo! I only have to get 100 to meet my resolution, but since the year is over a quarter over (that's crazy to me), I need to get going.

In other news, we went to our town's yearly festival yesterday, and it was wonderful.

Anna rode her first ride, and wasn't a huge fan.

Anna tried to act all big and bad, but she was out like a light.

Then, today, we "summer-ized" our back porch by scrubbing it down and giving all Luke and Anna's porch toys a bath: Then, we grilled chicken and asparagus for dinner, which we had along with fried potatoes. And for dessert:

Our milkshakes have two ingredients: chocolate ice cream and whole milk. They. are. amazing. And they more than undo any exercise you did that day:). But they are so worth it.

Lastly, we played with the kids in the yard (look at Luke's hand in the picture on below. Gotta love it)...

...and enjoyed our newly cleaned porch.

Did I mention I love spring?
