Spring has finally arrived

Longer days and warmer temps mean we are outside lots more. Taking walks after dinner, talking with neighbors, shooting baskets in neighbors yard, just being silly. 

And even doing homework with sidewalk chalk. 

It has been a long winter. This time of year is so incredibly busy for me with graduate students finishing and field seasons beginning, but it is by far my favorite season. Flowers emerging and birds returning. Life busting at the seams.  It is fun to share this with the boys.  Hope you all are enjoying the coming of spring as well.
