Ready for Spring!

After our too-brief taste of "warm" weather yesterday (translation for all our loved ones in CA enjoying 70+ degree weather this winter - "warm" means just above freezing. There is still snow on the ground and you still have to wear a coat, you just don't immediately freeze when you walk outside!) we are definitely looking forward to Spring! Here are a few reasons why:

Warm weather! Need I say more?! It's snowing AGAIN today - agggghh! 45 degrees seriously felt like 75 degrees - it was so wonderful! Oh, to not have to scrape snow off the car or walk around wearing a jacket that resembles a sleeping bag!

Moving to Brighton, England! We will be going to England for 8 months starting in April for Ryan's next job rotation with AmEx. We are very excited for this new opportunity and look forward to many new adventures in England and traveling in Europe!



Finding out if our new baby will be a boy or a girl!

Wow, so either your goal was to surprise your readers or I am just out of the loop. Congrats on moving to England AND the new baby! How exciting for both. I have never been to England and I am sure it will be exciting and fun to LIVE there for a little bit. And a new baby? That is just very exciting in and of itself. Congrats! What's your due date?

Congratulations! Sounds like you've got a LOT going on this Spring! When are you due? We've got about 9 weeks to go before we find out what we're having. I presume you're a few weeks ahead of me...
