This afternoon was spent soaking up the first really beautiful day of Spring. Me and the girls (DJ had to spend the day working at the Scrap Yard and we miss him fierce.) went to Wellsville to spend the day with G-ma and G-pa Norr, Ike and Jenna too. We made a fire and roasted hot dogs and mallows, jumped on the trampoline, fed the ponies and hunted Easter eggs.
We girls spread blankets on the grass and stretched ourselves out to dose in the sunshine. Jenn shared news of BYU and finals. The boys, (including a few of Ikes college buddies) were eager to get on any and all vehicles with two wheels. Grandpa was popping wheelies in the drive! I wore just a light jacket, the girls were playing hard enough that they insisted they didn't need jackets, or shoes.
My grandfather Vaughn, and his wife Rita came over to sit with us for a bit and share a few dogs and our cabbage and pink salads. We had a small debate about whether or not vitamin D can be absorbed through clothing. Either way it felt good coming in through my face!
We announced the big news! All smiles and hugs all around. I related a little of my previous months battle with heartburn and other unmentionable yucks. But mostly, just the good stuff was shared. Like how I can smell like a mother bear! And, how Talia is already telling me that she can see I am getting round, and will expect a bigger belly each morning from now on. She is seriously considering a few of her favorite names, and thinks that DJ and I should do the same.
Now I have to go and shower off the first fire smell of the year.
Twas really an exceptional day. One to treasure up in the heart.
