A Warm Day

It finally felt like spring might actually be on its way. After days of rain and some random bitterly cold temperatures we had a day when it was a pleasure to be outside.

We played golf. We kicked the soccer ball around. We found the garden tools in the garden where they'd gotten buried by snow during winter and then dug. We even found little green shoots heralding the spring that is to come.




One of the best things though was the walk we had around our neighborhood. As Beckett walked ahead of us, I held one of Ciaran's hands, and we all walked down the sidewalk together. Suddenly it hit me that this was the first family walk we'd ever had where everyone was walking. Ciaran had progressed enough that he could walk along the uneven sidewalk with me and had the stamina to do it not only that walk, but later as we followed Beckett riding his bike around. It was a wonderful moment. I was so happy that my little low tone guy who was so uninterested in being upright was loving being up on his own two feet.

And here is our Beckett bike riding dude.

  1. Your comments brought back wonderful memories of when my boys were little and how sometimes little accomplishments are so huge. Enjoying a beautiful day with your boys... priceless!
