save the daylight

i always dread loosing that hour....but i love the longer daylight....it is the hint of the new york summer evening that i love. it really didn't hurt that the past two days have been stunningly beautiful. march is such a schizophrenic month. we had the coldest day two weeks ago (11 degrees without the wind) and then today peaked at 68 degrees with sunny skies. while the YMCA has been our means of survival for winter days, we have headed straight for the park the last couple of mornings. this weekend is supposed to be back in the 40s, but until then i am enjoying the 10 minutes it saves me getting out the door (no winter survival gear). of course, it has been known to snow in april.....no spring clothes yet.

we inaugurating the potential of spring by waiting for daddy on the stoop this evening. the enduring of winter makes me love the commencement of spring more than i did when i lived in other parts of the country that don't really have seasons. it is revitalizing.....spring - rebirth. it goes together......thus back to lenten purposes or renewed focus. i guess i should have read my bible before i blogged.....i'm still in process. :)

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
