The campus is about to burst into bloom. The bambinos’ school has Spring Break this week, so we’re juggling working and having them home. Not easy. But knowing that spring is here makes everything seem easier. The February Funk and the January Blues are behind us. Hello Spring!!!
The bambinos have taken to being on the look-out for green stems pushing through the ground, buds about to pop open on tree branches, and fresh sprouts everywhere we are. This year we all seem especially mindful that spring is in the air. Today there was screaming and shouting from the back seat of the car as K, O, and M spotted some bright blooms alongside Sayre Drive. We stopped and got out so that they could get a close look. They found bright yellow crocuses blooming– the official first blooms of spring!
And today we went to Lehigh Baseball’s home opener! I had to get to a meeting, and it was pretty cold out, so we only stayed for the first three innings. But for Kyle and Owen nothing quite says “Spring” like the first baseball game of the season! (A new season, a new sport. And so life goes with K & O.)
Yay! We are so happy to be headed into warmer days too. I’m also home 2 days this week with kids on break for conferences. I can relate to juggling kids and work-I was just multitasking-on my computer and doing a puzzle! Lol
I also carve out times that are just focused on the kids and luckily they are pretty good about playing together, but still! Lol
Happy Spring to you all! AndMeera will be 5 soon? I have been reading your blog since she was a newborn!
Hope— isn’t it amazing you’ve been reading since Meera was born?! Thank you for reading!
And yes– yay for spring! and why does juggling the work & home have to be so hard?!
