Spring has sprung!

Last weekend we went to celebrate the second birthday of our friend's daughter, Bronwyn. Last year, we were there with little peanut Henry, about six weeks old, new to the parenting game. This year, Henry was running around everywhere, and was in love with all the water - sprinklers, kiddie pools - he had a blast. Ironically, a baby born on Henry's first birthday was also there. Seeing this beautiful little boy - exactly one year younger than Henry - really made me appreciate just how amazing this past year has been. Henry has learned SO MUCH and is still so fresh in the world! It's amazing to think of all the things this spring will mean for him.

For his mama, however, spring means loads of work and lots of travel. Balancing is getting easier, mainly because I know that even when I have to be away, Bret's taking amazing care of Henry, and Henry definitely knows that it's his mama coming home. Now, if he'd just get the hang of calling me mama...
