Belly Dancer's Nightcap

March comes in like a lion

...and goes out like a lamb.

Yesterday was the first sighting of the lamb - warm and serene. The last few days I've mostly been watching the boys while Erik prepares things for the move. We'll be switching off because the boys are not at a stage where we can both work on things at the same time. Today I'm thankful for perspective and gratefulness. There is so much to be grateful. The boys are so refreshing every single day with their ways of expressing themselves, with the things they wish to share with us, and drawing us from the stress into their delightful world. The other day was simple and good. I can sum it up in three words...

Steinheim

- breakfast in our Sunday cafe and a walk around this lovely town.

Sand

- It's so strange the first time you don't have to go outside with a heavy or even light jacket on. You feel almost like a naked bird whose feathers fell off. After naps I took the boys out front - Dang, I'm going to miss the Square that's a few feet from our front door - to play in the sand. Ian really struggled with not putting rocks in his mouth - they're just so tempting. The sun felt great.

Sticky

- Since it was so close to dinner I thought we should walk downtown and get gelato. What? Did you mistake me for a grownup? It was Gooood:) I'm going to miss being able to walk to everything SO much.

Doesn't sound like a good combination but it was:) And at the end of the day warm baths, deep sleeping babies and a little time to rest and check on friends...

Say a prayer for sweet Thomas and his parents.

Goodnight.
