Where Did Spring Go?

So here we are in the middle of April, and we have been experiencing 40 and 50 degree weather. I am really missing that beautiful, warm weather we had a couple weeks ago. It definitely lifts the spirits when you know you can walk outside in capris and a tshirt, and feel the warmth of the sunshine! Kya's birthday party was a hit this weekend. We had some awesome friends and family here. I was especially excited to see Scarlett, Damon, and the kiddos here all the way from Des Moines. We don't see them often, but it is always a treat! Kya seems to really be enjoying her new vanity from Grandma & Grandpa Thompson. It's hard to pry her from it :). I am working on a list of things I would like to get done with the new house before June. I want all of our landscaping in the front yard finished, the living room walls fully painted (3 walls to go), and the bathroom remodeling project completed. We have 85% of the items for the bathroom... just need to find the time and purchase the rest of the drywall and ceramic tile. I can't wait to see how the yard turns out! I have created my own little blueprint design, and I think it's going to look beautful! Kya has her cast on for one more week. Aria graduates from 3-year-old preschool in 3 weeks. Cady will be finished with preschool and headed to kindergarten very soon. Quote for the night:

Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible -- the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.
-- Virginia Satir
