In like a Lion, out like a Lamb

 

It's Spring!
Welcome the new season.  March sure does come in like a lion and go out like a lamb.
Although we have been greeted by the lion and its full blown snow showers, the sweet little lamb has been desperately trying to sneak out and grace us with its presence.
My how the time goes by.

 

Much to look forward to and much to slowly breathe in.
Marc is away for 36 days. He is involved in a project that will be launching from Wallops Island, VA, in June.
His occupation becomes more interesting to me as I am more educated on the details of his miraculous work.
The tiny details he must pay attention to and the calm and cautious mind set he has when working, has been reflecting on him as a person.
He enjoys what he is doing and who he is doing it for and in return is gaining a greater sense of who he is. 

The other day I learned some new information from him. He loaded necessary cargo that will be attached to the satellite and sent up to the space station by what used to be a french rocket, which now is taken over by the US, due to bankruptcy. The cargo will be dropped off in space for the astronauts to come pick up.

After listening to him describe how they attach each part to the rocket to send out of space, I was in awe of how amazing this world is, and how people like my husband are adding to the wonderful little things that keep the world moving.   

I feel like Ive been gaining a whole new perspective on life and love. And slowly growing into a new woman, or maybe an older and wiser woman.
Marc teaches me new things everyday. Things beyond simplicity and basics. He teaches me how to seek wonder in things and true meaning in how things work, including love.Things beyond the ordinary, my what a lucky woman I am.

On the simpler side of things. My occupation. Motherhood.
We are staying warm and thinking of new ways to explore and learn with what we have in our home.

Riley has been eager to practice shooting her bow.

Reese is getting ready to pop some teeth (soon, I think) and she is on the verge of walking.

Riley has been make believing and imagining through play. Her mind is an extraordinary place.
I love engaging in her ideas and playing along with her scenarios.
Our home has also turned into a horse farm. We have a mommy, daddy and  baby horse. Riley takes good care of them. She has been feeding them and takes them in and out of the barn through the sliding baby gate.
She gets to visit the horsey's at my parents house. From there is where she gets her horse imagination.

It is a magical land here in the Crawford house.


We are heading to Wallops Thursday, to see Marc, where the wild horses run free. I hope to get a sense of the freedom that roams the Island, I'll be sure to share when I return.

 

 

 

 

Can't see in this picture, but we stopped to capture a picture of a beautiful, free blue heron.

                      This year, March is living up to its tale, by going out like a lamb. Happy Easter!

Favorite time of the day. When my babies first wake up. So pure and natural.
