Last week, the girls had spring break. Because of all the craziness (and expense) of moving, we stayed home and enjoyed time together. Rob took a few days off and my mom came for a visit. The weather was summer-like and we took full advantage. We were outside as much as possible.

In looking back through our pictures from our adventures, more and more of them seemed to look the one above. The girls running, smiling, free. Children left with open space will run and climb and move. They will explore and  look and wonder.

I hope I can remember this as our schedules fill up during this busy season of spring.
