March | Currently

settling into routine again after 17 days in California

celebrating spring with snow showers, rain storms, and small bouts of warm weather, and I love it

preparing for our Resurrection Sunday celebration

filling and rolling dolmas for Sunday

feeling a little sad that we won't be with our extended families or close friends for the holiday

remembering the old days out on the Lopez Family Patio making fried dough

chasing around a curious almost three year old and an army crawling seven month old

marveling at how fast Eliza is growing

wondering if our family is truly complete with two kids

thinking about adopting a furry family member

scaring myself with the thought of adding another wild beast to this equation

dreaming about our summer garden and backyard plans

gathering the supplies to start the work

planting roots, figuratively and literally

embracing Berkeley's promotion to Engine Captain

letting go of my "return to Flagstaff" dream, for now

missing our people

opening myself up to new people and relationships, and new opportunities building a community here in Alpine
