This winter has seemed like one that will never end! After several years of mild winters here in Missouri, this one has reminded us what a “real” winter can look like! But today the sunshine made an appearance! Even though the wind was cutting and I still thought it was freezing, the sun was all the kids needed! We came home from art class and instead of getting right to our school, I let them go soak up the sunshine! I loved watching them run and play like it was a summer day!
