only after a cold, dark, winter; can we appreciate the true beauty of spring! that is how i feel every year. i don't enjoy the cold so much. and i really don't like when it gets dark early. february is my least favorite month. but even though i dislike the winter, i feel as though i appreciate spring all the more because of it. the warmth fills my body to the bones, the sweet scents of flowers in bloom fill my nose, sunlight lingers just a little bit longer each day; all giving me hope for what is to come!
it has been a hard, hard week. i think since lucas has been born, i'd say it has been the hardest. having for the first time, two sick boys, really sick boys, has had my heart so heavy. dave has been amazing. helping me out so much, he never ceases to amaze me with his patience and giving heart. i am so blessed! we have been spending most of the day inside recovering and haven't been doing our daily walks. it has been pretty cold. but today for the first time in what seems like forever! but really, only a couple days, we walked and we played outside. and boy did that feel good! warm sunshine, happy coos, and busy feet. both boys are starting to feel better. caleb's cold/turned bad bad allergies is being helped with breathing treatments and hopefully some allergy medicine once our insurance goes through. it has been rough. but these hard days, just like winter, make me appreciate the good days, the spring time. it makes me think of the rainbow after the storm :) We are challenged and given tough stuff, but if He brings us to it; He will bring us through it! All this sickness is making me a little weepy and a little emotional! As you can see here :)
Anway :) we are just so happy that tucked around the corner is spring!
