Spring has (almost) sprung

...And what better way to commemorate its arrival than our first official trip to the park of 2010!  It was a blast. The weather was perfect (...you know you live in New England when 58 degrees with a brisk breeze constitutes "perfect") Clear blue skies and SUNSHINE! As a Momma, it was so incredibly touching to see, (for the first time ever,) my TWO kiddos happily swinging together, side-by-side. (and, incidentally, this was Gav's first time on the swings. He lah-lah-loved it!)  Just seeing the joy in Ava's face that she "finally has a brother to swing with, Momma!" made my heart overflow with the type of maternal elation that only moments like these can encapsulate. What an amazing feeling it is-- knowing that these two will have each other for the rest of their lives. That no matter where either of them ultimately ends up in this world, they will have an automatic best friend just a drive/plane ride/phone call away.  It's the little moments like this make this crazy, exhausting parenthood journey all worthwhile   :-)
