Happy Birthday Tanner!

My favorite Minnesota guys!

My little buddy!

Proud birthday boy.

Carrie invited us over for cake and ice cream. I couldn't resist buying him a gift too. He loves puzzles so we got him a train puzzle that makes a train horn sound when you finish the puzzle. I think it was his favorite gift. After each present he'd open, he'd ask where his puzzle was, so we finally hid it until he finished opening all of his gifts. I'm glad he liked it so much.

I just love this face. He's just so happy and proud. Why wouldn't he be, he got three cupcakes. Who wouldn't be happy?

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Today just feels like such a wonderful day. Not because it's St. Patty's, but because it finally feels like spring. The past week and a half it has been rainy and cloudy. The good thing about that, is the rain has melted most of the snow. I can't believe how quickly all of our snow has melted. Within two weeks 90% of the snow is gone, which does give some concern for flooding, but we haven't been affected. Last week was Spring Break for Jon and unfortunately it was crummy weather. Today is wonderful, I went for a walk with my friend Rita. It felt so good to be out in the sun. I haven't been feeling well the last couple of days and I am feeling much better today, so it was very healing to be outside. It is amazing what a little sun can do. I am so excited for spring! I am hoping that spring will definitely come early or at least on time this year. Hope all of you are enjoying spring weather too.
