The First Day of Spring
As you will see by the pictures below Simon & I enjoyed the first day of spring. We celebrated by making our back yard appear as it did in the fall. I used the leaf blower to blow all the leaves off of the back fence area into the grass where we will in turn mow them up. (Way to lazy to rake) We meant to do this in the fall by just were too lazy then also.
The first day of spring was the end to the cold I've been fighting for about 10 days. It was unfortunately the first day of Ami getting the cold that I've kicked. Simon & I were able to hang out all day while Ami rested. I'm quite glad to be healthy again since I haven't been able to get out and run for over a week.
I am still on the look out for people who want to run a 1/2 marathon with me in August. Jeff, my brother is still on board and that makes me happy 
As for Simon, he is quite energetic these days and wants nothing more than to be outside all day long. He either wants to be walking around the back yard or in his stroller on walks around the neighborhood. His vocab is expanding very slowly. I think a complete list would include: mooo, woof woof, dog, duck, ball, car, dada, mama, and on a single occasion the words Jesus and candy.
As for work things continue to go well. Agel is flourishing & the spring means an increase in my JPTees and JP Squared business. Recently I was contracted by a local reseller of the Magic Jack product to do some self-improvement newsletters and webinars and that has been fun.
Hope you like the pictures of our “fall-looking” spring backyard.
cute pictures! That little guy is a total stud– just like his mom! (haha, just kiddin, you thought i was gonna say Pop, huh?) well, ok, i’ll give you that, Jacob, your son is pretty adorable!! Hope Ami feels better soon!
I’m amazed by the number of leaves!
Part of the Utah landscape I haven’t yet gotten used to is the leaf carpet phenomenon. I’m not sure there were that many leaved in all of Rock Springs. And Simon, of course, is quite wonderful in any setting.
