Good grief!

I knew that the weather had been getting warmer in Jacksonville - 70+ degree days are happening more regularly, and Nathan and I have even been sporting some shorts of late. The tulips and wisteria are almost done, leaving the dogwoods and azaleas to continue their spring showcase. So, I decided to get the official word from a semi-reliable weather website. The average high today in Jacksonville is 76. 76! It's time to buy swimsuits and start hitting the beach! Woohoo!!! I knew there was a good reason we moved from Boston (average high today - 55)...

Nathan continues to make progress towards walking. He is a rock star at walking along furniture, walls, and with parental fingers. He can even climb up and down stairs without incident. He'd been good at going up stairs for a few weeks, but it took another weekend at Grandma and Grandpa Henderson's for him to master going down. Until this past weekend, he had still been determined that he could successfully crawl down head-first. He is also starting to be able to stand up all by himself. This morning, he stood up from a sitting position for the first time ever. We'll have a walker on our hands soon enough. It's about time - later this week he'll be fifteen months old.

We are still enjoying Jacksonville, and Chad's work is still going really well. Within the next month or so, he'll be running two chairs, which will keep him busy. Our callings are also keeping us busy - we had the Young Men over for dinner yesterday immediately after church and Chad will go on his first campout as Scoutmaster with his boys next month. But life is good, and we're excited for the upcoming months :)
