it's a beautiful day!

when i woke up this morning it seemed like every other morning, jayden chatting away in his crib, i go in to find him standing up smiling from ear to ear when he sees my face, i change his diaper, open up the back door to throw the diaper in the trash, when it hits me....it's warm outside! no cold breeze; not even a titch of cold in the air! it's springtime!!! and from that moment on i haven't been able to get U2's song out of my head "it's a beautiful day"!
so when quinn got home from school we decided to bust out the picnic table, grill, and ipod, and have dinner outside.
it was perfect. jayden loves playing on the ground, we love warm weather and good music, and the steak and pork were divine (quinn having the steak and i having the pork, of course). i take it back, it wasn't perfect....when the trees behind our house bloom and are filled with beautiful red cardinals, that will be perfect. stay tuned.

Seriously, there are not many things better than eating good food outside in the warmth while listening to good music. You nailed it honey!!

don't let the weather fool ya, lex. we thought moscow was gearing up for spring with almost 60 degree weather last week. we were wrong-o. winter decided to hit us with (as andy likes to call it) an encore. there's 8" of snow outside and it's below 10 degrees. however, that will make costa rica all the betta, foo'.

anyway, not to rain on your parade. i can't wait for it to be spring!

That's awesome! I'm glad you took advantage of it, cause I hear the weather does this, and then it gets super nasty again. Blah. We'll see.
Brandon pulled out the camping chairs on Saturday after our race. We sat on the porch with chips, sandwiches, and the warm breeze blowing through our hair. So WT. So heaven.

i was so jealous reading this post! we had a couple nice days a few weeks ago, but now there is snow on the ground again. i've decided march 1 means spring in my mind. i'm ready for flip flops and skirts w/o tights and leggings underneath. your green table cloth--was that a thrift store find? you seriously have a knack girl! i need some lessons.
