Spring

Our weather forecaster said people in Minnesota were not enjoying their first day of spring, temperature 5 degrees Fahrenheit. I am sure that's true. Right, Mom?

We, on the other hand, have about 60 degrees here. Beautiful. With a ground cover of hail.

Last night, Erik and I both woke up to thunder, lightning, and a downpour of hail. I have never heard hail come down in that kind of volume. Luckily, they were the size of dimes for the most part. The whole yard was blanketed; it looked like snow. This morning at around 8:30, plenty of hail was still left on the ground. It won't melt! At least not very fast.

We are doing dental health activities today and fun weather stuff, of course. We read a Let's-Read-and-Find-Out book called How Many Teeth? that was really fun for both boys. It's pretty timely. Xander's on his fifth lost tooth. Three days ago, Xander lost a tooth at night. The next day, he lost another one. He's cleared out some good real estate in that mouth. The new tooth that is most visible looks ginormous.
