Lord, let there be many more.

This past weekend was fa-bu-lous. The temperatures were exquisite – nearly 70 both days – and there was just no way I could justify not being outside. When I first heard that the weather was going to be so nice, I told Scott I wanted us to have some time as a family at the park. After church on Sunday (and after Leah had a good, long nap), we did just that.

It was lovely. Of course, since the weather was one of those fantastically rare February days that begs everyone to come out of hibernation, the park was packed. You could literally hear the joy as everyone soaked up some much-needed sunshine and stretched their wintered muscles in the fresh air. We got Leah on the swings for awhile (until she looked like she could fall asleep). We bobbed on the little seesaw and bounced on the bouncy ATV. We ran through the amphitheater, trying to keep Leah from doing a kamikaze dive down the steps. We chased Leah’s ball and watched other kids on their bikes. Really, Leah was more interested in watching everyone else and in picking up random leaves and sticks…..but I think she had a good time. I know her daddy and I did, and we’re excited about more days like that this spring and summer.

Many, many thanks to my bloggy and Facebook photographer friends who introduced me to Picasa for editing my pictures. Can I even tell you how much fun I’m having? Collages and slideshows and special effects….I’m in heaven.
