The Hills Are Alive....

Life is good.

I get to spend the afternoon with my mama while my dad runs errands. They are in town today and will be heading out to Pennsylvania tomorrow (driving, natch) to spend my Grandma Phyllis's 97th birthday with her. Yep - 97. And she lived on her own until this past October.

We are all (my parents, Greg and Landon and I and my sister and her family) eating dinner out tonight. I never thought I would get this excited about going to Sweet Tomatoes.

The weather this week has definitely improved my overall blah feeling. I am so glad it is spring and can't wait for a few months of nice weather. I have walked to Jill's house twice to spend time with her and her boys, Landon has gone to the park and had his first real swing ride (he loves them - he is very vocal about his excitement, too!).

I have been spending more time with my girlfriends lately which also puts me in a better mood. Amy came over for dinner last night, Andrea came over for dinner a couple weeks ago, I spent the day with Cristy last week and of course I am seeing Jill a lot too. I saw Angela yesterday at Jill's.

There is just something amazing about this time of year - people come out of hiding and everyone's social lives seem to get a kick start. Birds are chirping, I can wear cute pants (why do I feel that all my winter pants are frumpy and all my summer pants are cute?), there just seems to be more to enjoy!

Landon is sleeping SO much better lately. I shouldn't even blog about it because I feel like I will jinx it. He now goes to bed like a champ at 8:30p every night and has been waking up consistenly anywhere from 5a-7a. Then I feed him and he goes back down until about 8a-10a. It is now 10:41 and he is STILL ASLEEP. Like all first time moms, I have checked to make sure he is breathing.

Alright, I will end this Pollyanna post. I am sure my next post I will be pulling my hair out and saying how much life sucks or something. The bipolarity of motherhood.

Happy April, everyone!
