spring is here...

...at least i hope so. the past few days have been lovely (though cool), and we were able to get out and take a morning and an afternoon walk. it's soooo nice to be outside again when it's not freezing cold. i wish the weather would stay temperate all year round...i think that would be my ideal place to live. i feel so cooped up during the winter. today after emma's nap, we went to take an afternoon walk and then did some yard work. emma was great at helping. she pulled out all the brown leaves and stems from the garden beds and added it to our yard waste pile. the rain is supposed to come tonight so i don't know if there'll be much outside activity tomorrow. BUT, we are taking ibu to the westside market tomorrow. yay!
