a lovely spring day

The weather is gorgeous and Spring is definitely in full bloom here in St. Louis!
I was even feeling in the mood for some Spring Cleaning this morning.
We have a gorgeous balcony here and after Fall and Winter, it starts to look pretty dusty and yuck.



This morning I did some serious sweeping, and dusting, and throwing away out there so our space could be put to use with this lovely weather.
So far, it looks great.



After cleaning and finding a lot of empty pots, we decided it was time to take a trip to the nursery.  After "pinning" this photo, I have become smitten with succulents.  After heading to two nurseries that weren't quite open this early in the season, we gave up.  We decided to drive around the park and the lake a bit.


While driving through the park, we got a bit turned around but happened to spot this adorable little nursery!! It was small, and perfect, and quaint, and more importantly, it was open for business :) 


Amelia had fun listening to her daddy tell her about all of the different colors and different types of flowers.  She seriously had the biggest smile on her face the entire time :)


We ended up leaving with lots of potting soil, two large succulent plants and OF COURSE, a few lavender plants :)  The lavender already smells amazing!!


On our way home, we ate at The Lake House.  It's so nice because you can eat outside and watch the lake.  I also like that you can bring your dog too!!  They bring them out a little doggy bowl :)


Of course, as soon as we got home, the clouds began to roll in and the rain is just now starting to come. I am so glad we spent the morning outside.  It does look like our plants will have to wait until tomorrow to get transplanted though :)



These days, where we get to go out and spend time together as a family, and with Amelia is such a blessing.  I love having a complete family now.  I also love that Adam and I are both able to have so much time off together to bond with this little angel and celebrate our precious family.
So blessed!!!
