A long time ago, even before I was married, I had a plan that one day when I had children, they would be born in the summer. After all, what can be better than a summer birthday--an outside party, no school, warm weather...I always loved having a birthday in June. Now look at me, two kids--one with a February birthday and one with a January birthday! What do they say about best laid plans? Of course, what I didn't realize then is that you cant really just pick your kid's birthday--it works out when it works out.
We are in full spring here, so actually I guess January and February birthdays are not so bad in California anyhow. Each day I take Alaina out for a walk--here are a few pictures I snapped yesterday.
Tress are flowering, grass is growing and bulbs are blooming. Compare that to the picture my dad sent me this morning of Chicago:
Now, I do miss snow, but it is nice to get to take the baby out for walks and not worry about her getting too cold! So even though I didn't get summer babies, I guess I can't complain. Plus, there are great summer half-birthdays to celebrate!
Yeah, Erik is my first winter baby...snow and cold not so fun for babes. The girls however have been doing some sledding! I can hardly believe how warm your pictures look!
