Sunny Days

In between the rain this Spring, we've managed to spend a couple of days out in the sun ... soaking it all in.  After a long winter, we are desperate for a few rays of precious sun.  (Now, I may eat those words when I am melting in the sweltering July heat this summer, but for now, I would like a little warmth!).

We still need coats, but at least the sun is out!

My girls, always sticking together:

Sophia loves her boots -- she may, quite possibly, live in them all summer ...

Sam is becoming a natural when it comes to posing for her momma:

No shoes, but we don't mind!

Stopping to collect some pieces of nature:

These pictures were taken about 10 days ago, and it is amazing how much greener the grass is already!  Some flowers have started to blossom in the flower beds and the robins are searching for places to make nests.  Bring on the Spring season!
