I have never been one to really grumble about winter, but  as I get older, I start to tolerate them less and less each year. I love having the change of the seasons and wearing my jeans and sweaters through the winter months, but come February, I am ready to be done with it. I was feeling a bit in a “blah” kind of mood today after a few bleak days, so I decided to boost my mood with a fresh paint job. On my nails that is! During sandal season, I always have my toes painted some bright, cheery color but during the winter months, I tend to neglect them. It’s funny how something so small could change my mood completely. I don’t normally paint my finger nails because they aren’t usually long enough to do so and I am a stay-at-home wife and mommy so they take quite the beating between dishes, laundry, cleaning etc.

I know I don’t have the most beautiful hands/fingers/fingernails in the world. But hey, at least I shared a picture of my hands instead of my feet

To really top my evening off, Jay surprised me with some beautiful yellow tulips and a Lipton Raspberry Iced Tea (YUM!). I think that he secretly did it so that his sweet gestures would be noted for all of you to see and read Or possibly, he is taking our Bible Study and couples devotions to heart and was just being the wonderful husband that he is. I love sweet little surprises like this that are unexpected. It really is the little things that mean so much.

In other news, Caroline has finally started walking! I am thankful for this milestone, but at the same time it makes me a little sad. She is growing up so quickly and I know that her crawling days will soon be a distant memory just like so many other milestones that come and go. She was so proud of herself when she took off walking that she would get to giggling so hard, it would cause her to fall down. With every other milestone she has had thus far, she has been a little slower than Joel was but she is right on track with him on walking. It has never bothered me that Joel or Caroline were/are late walkers at 15 months. My mentality is keep them down as long as you can! I will try and post some pictures and possibly a video if I can figure that one out of her new found mobility.
