So many reasons to celebrate!
Reason One: Yesterday, my husband, daughter and I headed to UVa to watch our son compete in a college club swim team meet. It was great to see him back in the pool again. We’ve been going to swim meets with him since he was in the first grade. Now that he’s in college, we’ve been missing the camaraderie of the swim community, and the hard benches and humid air of the swimming pool. Never thought we’d miss the sore tush, permanent smell of chlorine, and never-ending pile of damp towels! How wonderful to be able to experience that again. Afterwards, at dinner, we were thoroughly entertained by him and his “belly-busting”roommate. What a great day!

Reason Two: Today, back at home, we got an afternoon snow shower with big, white, fluffy flakes! Totally unexpected! I enjoyed watching my daughter and dog running and playing together. 
Reason Three: Great art class today! And then a pizza and birthday cake celebration with my husband’s insanely large family. ;)Celebration Plate:
