An Early Spring?

early spring!

Outside my office/bedroom window this morning, I noticed blossoms on the trees along Beach Avenue. It's still February... bring it on!

Melissa in her new dress.

On an unrelated note, the oldest of the five Ms returns tomorrow from her sibling-less sabbatical in Maine. Her grandmommy and the rest of the Maine family were diligent in sending us electronic updates. In this pic, Melissa models a dress she had the good fortune to acquire from Auntie Allison's co-worker, outgrown by her girls but in remarkably fine shape.

She looks very grown up, for 4.
