Today is finally the first day of Spring. My kids have been asking almost daily when Spring will be here. Well, mostly Evan and Olivia. Emi understands the calendar a little better.
We're planning a trip to Moab for Spring Break which is next week. We could use some sunshine and a break from the routine. Taylor's parents are coming to so it should be a fun time.
Olivia is loving dance. I'm just glad she found something she likes to do. She came up to me a few week ago and said, "Mom, I think I want to do ballet." So we went on a quest checking out all the ballet studios in town. She was so excited to get her ballet costume she cleared out one of her drawers which is now dedicated to all things ballet, and which cannot house any other article of clothing. Any other clothing put in that drawer promptly gets thrown out, as I have learned.
I have been thinking about a friend of ours, Justin Marcucci, who passed away last week. We knew Justin and Stephanie in Chicago. They were in our ward and we got to be friends with them. We haven't kept in touch since we moved out here 5 years ago other than facebook and I was so shocked and saddened to learn from a mutual friend of his passing. They have 3 boys and Stephanie's pregnant with their 4th. Justin passed away on Wednesday of a sudden cardiac arrest. His heart stopped and it was quick. I read this in James 4:
14Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a avapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
So true. This life is so short. It's made me think about my own life.
