Spring is one of my favorite times of the year. I can open the windows and go on walks with Ryan and enjoy being outside. This past weekend was perfect for all of those things and as I sit here today watching the snow fall - on May 1st! I am thinking back to the weekend we had.
My mom and sister made a quick trip out to visit since it's been a while since we have seen them. It was the perfect weekend for visiting! On Saturday, we made a picnic lunch and went to a local park to enjoy the outdoors and put Ryan on a swing for the first time. It was so nice to just be outside in the fresh air and spend time together. Ryan wasn't so sure about the swing at first but I think he enjoyed it by the time he was done.

| By the end he was laughing and kicking his feet - I would say he liked it! |

Josh and I also got an opportunity to go on a date - which are few and far between these days. Its always a blessing to be able to spend time together without having distractions. We went to Red Lobster - one of our favorites and then went to a movie. Usually there are 4-5 movies out that we want to see, but this time we had a difficult time picking one. We ended up seeing "The Croods." It was pretty cute and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
I am so thankful that the Lord has us stationed close enough to family that we can see them on a regular basis - even if it is a long drive.
