field frolic

i snapped this photo as we were driving home from work one day last week. these deer were having a blast skipping and frolicking across the field. the sun was glinting off their snow white tails and it truly made my heart leap to see them so carefree and filled with the joy of spring. i think it must have been contagious as i came home from indiana yesterday bursting with energy and started my spring house cleaning. last evening i frolicked thru the laundry room, scrubbed the walls and floor, rearranged the pantry and put a few extra touches in for good measure. this morning i've started the kitchen. i, too, am filled with the joy of spring.

for those of you sweet enough to ask how baby ben is doing, he is just wonderful. just the sweetest little bundle of joy and i just can't get enough of his chubby little boy cheeks. he nurses well but is still keeping his mama a bit sleep deprived. mama megan reports that being the mother of two is much easier that she ever thought it would be (so far). jenna has passed up a few opportunities to go visit so she could just stay home with her mom and baby brother. she is so enamored! grandma julie is so proud and filled with love!
