Spring is Here!

Well, It's official. Spring is here. The tree in our front yard have started to bloom, it is staying light later (thanks to daylight savings) and Easter is in a few days! I have been keeping busy this last week trying to get my Easter cards up and ready to mail out. Why Easter cards, you wonder? Because I like Easter better than Christmas. I love what we remember on Easter, because the resurrection is so central to our faith. Besides, I like being unique.

Signs of life are popping up around here. Gunnar is quite the gardener, he is loving this country living! He takes good care of all the trees, plants and has started a garden, so hopefully later this year we will have some homegrown veggie fun. :) He finds subduing the land to be quite Biblical, plus it is a good excuse to be outside enjoying the sunshine. I am not allowed to touch his plants (due to the fact that when I touch green things they tend to die) but he graciously allowed me to take some pictures.

A couple more of Grace and Gunnar. She is such a daddy's girl! (As I write she is supposed to be sleeping but instead is in her bed yelling "Daddy, wheres ares you?")

Giving daddy hugs

Happy Spring Everyone!
