Nothing breaks my Winter spirit more than a touch of Spring to remind us how beautiful it is to be outside without freezing our tushies off. I can make it through the -30C’s just fine until it starts to warm up. Once I feel the warm sunshine on my face and get out in just a fleece, there is no turning back.
Or is there? After a glowingly warm weekend where we spent tonnes of time outside we woke up to cold winds, blowing snow and freezing rain.
I think I want to stay inside until Winter is officially over.

This year a Robin has decided to make his nest on our entrance post. We had a family two years ago, then last year an attempt was made but the neighbors were too noisy. It is still pretty noisy out there, but the Robin family seems pretty content. We don’t use our front door a lot. Hubby uses it twice a day and the rest of the time, I go in and out the garage (sad, I know, but I park in the garage and when I walk J to school, I have to put Apple in the stroller and that is also parked in the garage.). I hope to enjoy the newest additions to the Robin family as we love seeing them first thing in the Spring and their song is so pretty.
J was trying out his Buddy’s new trampoline and for some reason was doing a funky dance. One day he is going to either be thrilled that I have so many silly photos of him. Or he is going to be very, very mad.
Thank you for all your wonderful photography comments. That just warms my heart. One day, perhaps when the kids are older, I will get my chance to pursue it.
Watching my two kids swinging together and having fun is priceless. Having Apple stick her little tongue out at me is wonderful, considering I just found out she is tongue-tied.
Apple’s laugh is infectious and I just love it. J’s silliness is wonderful and I wish that he was that happy all the time. His best buddy was over running through the sprinkler with him, so life was very good in his books. And J finally giving me a wonderful smile instead of hamming it up.
Today wasn’t quite as warm and we had a thunderstorm. In addition I also had to go to swimming lessons with J and swim! Not the worst I have looked in a bathing suit, but not the best either.
And the best compliment I have ever had came today. It just warmed my heart. I took photos of both J and his buddy in the sprinkler and sent some photos to his Mom through email. Her and her Hubby thought they were fabulous and asked if I would do their family portraits! I felt so blessed. But, had to admit that portrait work is my weakest. I work best from a distance and when the subject isn’t always ready for my shots. But, I will take the compliment and work towards learning a bit more about portrait work so one day I could possibly do it.
