Happy

This is my new friend Echo!

She and her husband recently moved into our ward and they are so kind.  I had called her on a Friday and then on Sunday she brought me this:

Wow. 

It made me feel so special because she MADE it!  Isn’t it amazing?  She does the clay and the beading and the painting. 

We go together to hang out and had an amazing time looking at pictures, playing with the boys and snacking on fruit and yummy “asian” treats.  I was so happy as I spent time with her.  I guess I’m posting this on the blog because I felt so impressed with her initial kindness and the happy spirit that she radiates!  I love people like this.

This week we started to thaw out.  Today I spent nearly an HOUR outside and then sun felt WARM on my cheek.  I smelled summer and am so looking forward to playing outside….watching the boys from the back porch, walking outside without us all looking like Michelin Man, that smell that your skin gets in the summer….   Truthfully I haven’t had cabin fever this winter, but as I caught a glimpse of spring I felt so invigorated!

Now, pictures from our week:

Home Depot carts are the best!  Two little boys are so much fun.  What’s not so fun is trying to turn this puppy in the aisles!

Painting Winter Olympic Pictures

Harry wrote his name “really big” on the Magna Doodle and we took a whole bunch of pictures because he was pretty proud of himself. 

On a side note, we have taken great strides in toilet training!

Wyatt’s “Game Cube”  He is such a cutie – he wants to crawl soooo bad.  We’ll post video soon of him “hopping”
