The Sun Will Return....

...but all this rain we're getting isn't helping my current mood.

I think I've made it pretty obvious that things have been rough lately.  And recently, receiving some "hard to take news" about my dad has only made it worse.  It's been a year (since last March) of bad news, then good news, then bad news, then okay news, then great news, then bad news and then really bad news.  But the sun always seems to come out after the dark clouds pass through.  And I know it will again.  It will dad.  It always does.

Besides we've got spring around the corner {yes, my Easter decor is up, does that surprise you?!} and Bennett has his "hot dog" hat on again....

Just need to work on keeping it on-yep, he's determined to throw it right off as soon as mommy puts it on.

Ya know, when you're cooped up inside for most of the winter, the kids can drive you crazy but they have this amazing way of turning things around when things don't seem to be going so well.  I think it's the contagious laugh that my girls have.

The other night they were doing something and cracking up over it and I couldn't help but just laugh right along with them.  A good laugh goes a long way.

So while we wait for the sun to return, we'll keep playing with play-doh, we'll keep laughing uncontrollably, we'll keep dancing. Because the sun will return.  It always does.
