because it IS coming.
Even if it still feels years away.
Here is how we know at our house summer is near:
1. Dock in at the lake!
2. One broken storm door from spring-fevered back step wrestling match (read: boys outside playing)
3. Wallpaper abatement with Gogo in Anna and Emma's bedroom (read: nesting!)
4. Constant fussing over calendar (read: how often can we escape up north to said dock!)
5. Mower out two weeks in a row and planters brim full of blooms on the front step.
6. First cheeseburgers of the year grace the grill and our dinner plates!
7. Schoolwork picking up even as we long to check out...end of the daily grind in sight
8. Last Sunday School of the programming year completed (read: VBS straight ahead!)
9. Up all night hearing noises...because the windows are finally wide open!
10. First spring toad! (found in yard and saved from the mower...only to be "donated" to our next door neighbor's son by our lawn mowing teenager. So sweet to see him recalling the joys of toddlerhood that way)
Spring is on it's way out. It's been a beauty.
One season closer to you, YuXiao! Summer or fall, we are longing to meet you.
