A snowy "leap day"

What a stormy day today was! The wind started early in the morning, at least by 2:30 AM when I woke up to feed Russell. 

It blew all morning and Keldrie kept asking me what the noise was.  Sometimes I enjoy a good storm, other times I don't. Today I was a little indecisive about it. It is fun to have a snow storm, but not when I have places to go and Matt needs to get to and from work and school safely. 

Also, why is it that today, the last day of February, we are getting our first snow storm in months?! I don't care. I am taking down my Valentine decorations tomorrow and putting up my spring stuff! Stinky weather. I love that in Utah we get 4 seasons, but Spring and Fall never seem long enough to me. We seem to only get about 3 weeks of Spring before it gets real hot and then the process repeats in the Fall. I guess it will just have to be Spring in my head and in the decor in the house!

This is such a random, nonsense post. I just have lots on my mind and not enough time to settle my thoughts before I type. Is writing like therapy to anyone else? It just feels good to get the thoughts out of my head and onto the paper (or computer screen). 

My sweet Russell is growing well and fast. He is putting on weight and filling out nicely. I love his big chubby checks. He is my little chipmunk! We are busy getting ready for his blessing around here. I have so much organizing and cleaning I want to get done by Sunday morning. I probably won't get it all done. I should probably prioritize my list.  Perhaps I will have to do that tomorrow morning. 

Tomorrow also marks Russell's 6 week mark and my post-delivery appointment. I'm expecting a full bill of health and being allowed to get back to my usual cleaning routine. Not that I haven't cheated and used the vacuum a few times.  I am actually feeling really great. I seem to be recovering quicker this time than with Keldrie. Maybe it's all in my head. 

This March marks Matt and mine fourth anniversary! Four years! It has gone so fast! I'll save all that we have done for a post closer to the actual anniversary, but it has been on my mind a lot lately. Everyone seems to have this opinion that there is a "four year slump" when it comes to marriage, but I don't really expect one for Matt and I. We are still getting along swimmingly and we have two beautiful children who make us laugh everyday. 

Well, at 8:30 pm on this windy, wet day, I am happy to have both my children close by and Matt sitting next to me working on homework. Of course I wish he wasn't working on homework, but at least he is safe beside me. Even if his homework is frustrating him at the moment. 

Hope all of you and your loved ones are safe as well!
