Spring Up!

(Picture is at Spring Mountain ranch last Spring)

So Spring is upon us Las Vegans, and this is the time of year we have to cherish. Unlike most of the world, I dread summertime. Pretty much the rest of the 9 months here are beautiful though, and I adore the time when I can shut off all electronic air temperature control devices, open the windows wide and enjoy the fresh outdoor air, and even the birds singing indoors.

It makes me feel alive when I can enjoy the outdoors all day long. I think that's actually something I feel very lucky that I can do everyday, since I stay home with the kids. If I want to go hiking at 10 o'clock in the morning, I pack them up and go! Something I couldn't do when I worked. Sometimes I would not even see the sun until I left that day, and during daylight savings time I sometimes would even miss the sun!!!

So that is the upside of Spring. The downside is that Connor has allergies and the almost forgotten cough has now returned. Coughing day and night has kept most of our family up. Hoepfully with a little medicine Connor's cough will again dissapear and we can enjoy Spring with all of it's gifts!
