Long-Awaited Signs of Spring

I just wanted to share a few pictures of the kids playing outside in the slush this afternoon. We're finally beginning to thaw! Yesterday I awoke to the sound of birds chirping in the backyard. The kids and I stared out the window at dozens of birds pecking through the snow in our backyard, flying away with tiny red berries in their beaks.

Jared found this giant block of ice in his over-turned Frisbee. The snow thaws during the day, leaving puddles that freeze during the night. It looks like Spring is just around the corner!
