we're going on a dog hunt


Monday, February 20, 2012

It was so beautiful outside on Saturday that Ev and I decided to get some fresh air. So we camped out on the lawn {where I soaked my tush on the damp ground}, ate an orange and waited for some doggies to come by.
Ev loves oranges, peel and all. Can you tell ;)

All weekend I have been DAYDREAMING about spring. I have to admit that I have had a huge case of the winter blues lately. It's not that I don't like the season itself, I just hate being cooped up inside all day and add a toddler on top of that it's just no fun. And our baby friends get sick or we're sick and it just makes for a couple of rough months. So I was so happy to open up BH&G March issue and see a two page spread on summer things to do in Virginia! I was sooo thrilled that of all 50 states they highlighted the one we're living in and that made me feel so much better about what is ahead for us during the summer months. Come on, Spring, don't be intimidated by the groundhog's shadow - show yourself already!

    We have done that so many times. Hunting for puppies. Good luck. I hope the sun comes out soon.

    I feel the same way about winter! I am so relieved when March rolls around because I know that in no time I will be in flip flops again!
    I love your winter pics though! You guys are so cute!

    Where in VA are you? I am orginially from Alexandria and my parents have a farm in Luray too. This is our first year on the West Coast and I know I am going to miss east coast spring so much!

    We "hunt" for puppies, too. Emi loves them until they bark so we sit on our front lawn and just wait. It seems like there is always a neighbor out walking one, especially on the weekends, so she is seldom disappointed. :) And YES, Please, come on SPRING!!!

    Sounds like a very fun day! That last picture is adorable. And how exciting that they talked about your state! I hope you get to do the fun stuff!

    How fun! Yes, Spring is right around the corner and what a fun time it will be with our little one. We are kind of in the same boat over here =)

    I know what you mean about a rough couple of months! I feel like we are always either sick or all of our friends are. I get cabin fever.

    Saturday's weather was perfect! We had Matthew's 1st bday party and couldn't have asked for better weather (we were praying hard for anything but snow!).

    I may have to pick up that issue of BH&G. I'm always looking for stuff to do around VA.

    We've been feeling the dreadful winter blues here as well! Try d-drops, they help.

    Thanks for the heads up on the magazine. We will have to pick up a copy for some ideas for activities in Virginia. I am pretty sure we have done everything in our area, and in Charlottesville, but there have to be some other options out there!

    Such cute photos! Hope you got to play with some puppies! My Will loves orange peels also!

    i love her sweater and hat, my nephew is obsessed with oranges at well, sometimes he chews at the orange before its even pealed. I also cant wait till spring, apparently in chicago were supposed to get about 6 or more inches of snow, what a bummer. =/
