Gorgeous afternoon

Emily & I enjoyed a gorgeous afternoon outside today. It hit 68 degrees in Waterloo! Emily loved playing in her sandbox again, twirling around with her new umbrella and trying out the new basketball hoop she got from G&G Lorenzen for Christmas. I cleaned up the backyard and then just sat in a lawn chair soaking up the sun--all without having to wear a coat. I also cracked a few windows open to air out the house. Yay for the promise of spring!
