Painted toenails.
Children playing barefoot in the sunshine.

Plans for a May dance recital.
New Easter music.
Practices for end of the year dramas/musicals.
A Mama struggling almost as much as the kids to stay focused on school work.
There can be no doubt, these are all signs that spring is on the way. I have been loving this little taste of spring that we have been experiencing over the last couple of weeks. As always, spring holds more than just warmer temperatures and trees blooming ... it holds a promise of things to come. Some of the things that we know are coming may not be as welcome as others ... like the 95 degree temps and 100% humidity that our summer is sure to hold ... but this isn't the time to focus on that ;-)
In a continued effort to take nothing for granted, I am continuing to count my blessings . . .

A lovely post as usual! I hope your mom is feeling better! More than likely, we will be getting a final decision from Bella's birthmom in the next day or two. As usual I feel unprepared to walk away from her. I know God's grace is sufficient. We are plnning on taking a break from fostering for a few months. I hope your day is going well!
Sounds lovely!! The rain sounds great too. It's so dry here, and winter is a dry season, so I hope we'll get some rain before winter sets in.
It's strange to read of rehearsals for end-of-year dramas/musicals when our school year began only 2 months ago ;-))
I hope your spring weather moves in soon,
Felicity
