A Resprite!

We are going to break the snowfall record here in Cedar Rapids. I just KNOW it. As of yesterday we were 3 and something inches away from breaking the record which I believe was set in the 50's. It is currently snowing and there is a chance for snow through Thursday. It has been a long, cold, snowy winter. And we've dealt with a lot of sickness in our house. In fact, I took Libby in Friday to the doctor to find out she has Influenza A. (She's doing quite well but teething on top of the fact has left her feeling somewhat grouchy.) So on Sunday, with the sun shining and the high near 50 degrees we took advantage of the beauty of the day and decided we needed to eat outside. So, we packed up the kids, went through the drive-threw at Wendy's then made our way to a nearby park. Now, everything was and is still covered with snow so we tailgated. Then we went for a walk on a sidewalk that was mostly clear of snow. As you can see from the first picture - the sun was quite bright and everyone was having a hard time keeping their eyes open for the picture.

So now I have spring fever. But I will rejoice in the day that the Lord has made. We may be doing the Easter Egg hunt out in the snow but we'll have the opportunity to say - "Remember the winter of '07, this is nothing!"
