Spring is Here

Mikey smiling wide in the back seat of the car with the window down, a large wreath sticker with the message: Spring is Here

That’s life in Connecticut…yesterday’s baseball practice needed to be held inside because it was too cold and today, it’s nice enough to roll the windows down and feel the breeze as we drive.

journal entry: “I love riding in the car with the windows down! Spring is here! 6 photos of Mikey’s smiles and wiggles as he enjoys the breeze on his face.
Dave was driving while i took these photos…just in case anyone was worried.

Finding Joy

Michael can find joy in the simplest things! Riding in the car with the windows down made him so happy!

Let this be a reminder to all of us…happiness can be found in any moment if we’re willing to embrace the fun.

And if Spring has not quite arrived where you live, it’s on its way, my friends!!
