Sunshine on my shoulders...

Yesterday afternoon was the kind of breezy, sunny spring day that makes you fall in love with the city all over again. There was a feeling of let's get outside NOW...and so we did. After a good nap in the a.m., Elisa and I met up with Jessie and her son Oliver and hit Central Park for a long walk and some quality time outside. Unfortunately, most of our favorite spots were still roped off for spring seeding and maintenance, but we did find a patch of sparse grass to take a breather.

Elisa enjoys a snack while we hang out on the grass.
Oliver pauses just long enough for Jessie to catch her breath.

We couldn't sit for too long with these fidgety kids, but that was okay. The afternoon in the park and jungle gym area was just a taste of the months to come and that was really my inspiration for going out in the first place. It feels like we have turned a corner and hopefully, the sunshine and warmer temps won't recede in favor of more winter. Well, with only a week and a half of March left, one can hope!
