Life is a rollercoaster these days.. only we are on the part that keeps plunging down down down. We have a lot of obstacles to work through right now and most likely will have to make some big changes in our life because of them. On the bright side not all these changes will be bad. 

It is the weekend. This week lasted forever and sped by all at the same time. I am SO glad to have another weekend. It feels like a time for Chad and I to join forces. It is when we have enough time together to hash through our troubles and still have a little time left over to push it all away from our minds and just enjoy what great things we have. 

Spring is really starting agian, for real this time we hope. The sun is out. It is warm enough to go out without thinking ahead about how many layers would be wise to have on. The flowers are popping up all over the place. They seem to grow wild in the grass here. I do not know how anyone has the heart to mow the lawn with all the bright colors sprinkled throughout. 

Eden is our greatest cheerer-upper! She is getting more fun every day. She is still pretty small (25 percentile and on the short side) but she can sit up pretty well on her own. I took her out for a walk yesterday and sat her in the regular seat rather than having her in her attached carseat. With the carseat she props up facing me. Strapping her in regular sits her up like a big kid facing forward. It is a lot easier than attaching the car seat and pushing the extra wieght but I found myself stopping and making excuses to go and look at her. I missed just getting to watch her watch the world go by. I also missed chatting with her as we went along. Stress melts away when we play with her.
