Hello, Spring!

I'm sitting up - it's after midnight - and it's starting to thunder and lightning; and I can't tell you how happy I am right now.

Why?

Because 1.) that means that it's SPRING and I haven't been dreaming the weather of the previous week, and 2.) Weather.com shows that by the time I get up again in the morning, the short rain will be gone and it should be sunny.

What a great end to a beautiful Easter celebrating the resurrection of Christ!

And I leave you with this photo of my middle son, Joel, and me taken yesterday while coloring Easter eggs. He has such an incredibly nurturing heart, just like his dad; looks just like his dad; has the comedic timing of his dad; and someone, some day, will be blessed to have him for a husband.
