The End of Winter

We played with Luke at the park for the first time this past weekend! He had a blast, and I had a blast taking it all in with the warm breeze that reminds us spring is almost near! 

It was his first time on the swings. I like every other mom was a little panicked at what his reaction was going to be, will he get scared? Scream? Cry? The little guy always proves me wrong! He was overjoyed!

Daddies will be daddies... "Let's push him harder!" was Fred's reply and Luke just smiled in delight of daddy's roughness. It makes me smile that one day when Luke falls off the swings or scrapes his knee he'll run to mommy to kiss his boo-boo and make it better. Or he'll prove me wrong again, get up dust off his pants and keep running! I totally would not be surprised if he was that kid!

As we say goodbye to winter I feel like I also say goodbye to Luke's little baby months. My little guy is growing to fast, almost 8 months! But I am full of excitement of the promise of Spring, new beginnings, flowers blooming, the celebration of Christ's resurrection! I am also excited to see this new stage of Luke, what will he learn, how much will he grow?

I pray that your spring is also full of new beginnings, joys and grace from the Lord!
