A Glimpse of Spring

Here's a bit of what we've been up to during these long winter days...actually we're experiencing a brief break from the horribleness and enjoying some moderate weather. Yahoo!
With the nice weather on Sunday I was looking forward to walking to and from church. I decided to actually wear my hair down and straight so while I was getting ready that morning I had a headband on to keep my hair dry.Morgan decided he liked the look, called it his new "hat" and insisted on wearing most of Sunday.
He was so cute with it on I didn't have the heart to stop him.
Relaxing and watching a show before afternoon church. He wore the "hat" in his stroller to and from church but luckily left it in the stroller during church. Although he did ask about it a couple of times.

Morgan the Naked Cowboy

"Thank you Harlem, Good Night!"

Despite being unemployed, Cody still insists on getting up at 5:30 to go running before he gets Morgan up at 7. I have no problem with this arrangement as I get to sleep in till around 8 and I don't have to go running in the cold (which lets be serious I wouldn't run even if it was warm!). However, I do sadly miss some beautiful Harlem sunrises. Cody decided to show me what I was missing.
This is what Cody found when he got Morgan up this morning. That is pretty amazing for short hair! What a cute Flock of Seagulls impression!

Today in honor of somewhat warmer weather we ventured to the playground.
Needless to say Morgan was thrilled to have the freedom to run and climb.

And slide.

After the playground we walked around the Harlem Meer for a bit and watched the ducks, geese and swans. I love how peaceful he looks just sitting there.

My boys. Morgan finally got cold enough that he wanted his mittens and hood on. Love the rosy cheeks!

Sitting with Daddy and watching the birds.

Deciding he needs a closer look.

Scaring Daddy into thinking he's going to try and swim with the ducks.
The next few days are suppossed to be warmer as well. Cody saw a glimpse of a daffodill in the park; I guess it was tricked into thinking spring was upon us as well.
I long for spring and mornings at the playground surrounded by beautiful flowers!
Thanks for the glimpse!

I can tell that the running is paying off for Cody - he looks thinner! Now, if only I could be so diligent...

Everytime I read your blog, I want to start talking with a New York accent (even though I'm not really sure how it's supposed to sound.) It's so much fun to see all the great sites of the amazing place that you live. Love the naked cowboy pics. You have a beautiful family and I'm thankful I get to keep updated with how you're doing.

I love the guitar, binky picture. He's too cute. Ok, so that pond is still frozen. That's still cold. We've been having upper 70's low 80's weather and it's been nice. I love the rosy cheeks too. Kevin's been running or working out each morning too. I stay in bed!
