Ready for Spring

While mommy and daddy have been either working on school or trying to get over some sickness this winter, Caroline has played along her merry way and has stayed healthy and happy. First, there was Valentine's Day, when of course we gave thanks for having such a sweetheart. Then there was St. Patrick's day, when Caroline dazzled us all day with her green outfit. And we were able to make a quick trip down to Texas, where Galen had a good conference, and we were able both to relax and shop. The most special of all was Easter, when Caroline got to wear a gorgeous dresss that we had been saving for the occasion since before she was born. After Easter services, Caroline went on an egg hunt and had a really fun time. But now we're all ready for spring, because this will be the first warm weather when Caroline is old enough to do a lot of playing outside. Caroline recently turned 20 months old, and it's hard to believe that we're already thinking about her second birthday party. But it also seems like she gets sweeter all the time, and we hope she always remains as good as she has been. Sometimes we see a preview of the "terrible 2's," so we know there are growing pains to come, but these are fun days, and we hope to hold on to them for as long as we can!
