Hello Spring

I know that we're a couple of days late, but we're so happy that spring is here. That means that swimming pool season is just a few short weeks away, and nothing is better than swimming pool season. It also means a new season of hats for JillyBean. The one above is last year's Easter hat and it still works this year. We have already purchased a new brightly colored striped straw hat for play, a white straw hat for Easter, a sun hat for the beach and pool, and are in dire need of a new Red Sox hat for the upcoming baseball season. That would probably make a great birthday gift. Rarely can we leave the house without Bean wanting to put on a hat. She must get that love of hats from her Great, Great, Great Aunt Arcena (whom she shares her middle name). It's funny because I can't get her to keep a bow in her hair but she would wear a hat to bed if I let her.

I have had every intention to returning this into a daily blog but have not made myself do it. It sure isn't for a lack of things to discuss, I simply have not taken the time to plop myself down in front of the computer each night to record the day's events. In addition, this week has been a little nuts. I had the stomach flu for a day and a half (thankfully JillyBean didn't catch it and thankfully BeanieDad is fabulous and stayed home from work to take care of things), and now I am up to my ears in consignment sale items. Those will be out the door by Wednesday and I plan to return to my regular blogging schedule - promise.

In the meantime, we hope that everyone is blessed with the same gorgeous weather we have had the past few days and are able to enjoy the lovely color that is painting the landscape this time of year.
