This train keeps rollin’, don’t it?

After an auspicious April that included my little girl’s birthday, my birthay, we’ve run smack dab into May.

And another big month: My first son will celebrate his 4th birthday, my wife and I will celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, and my parents will celebrate their 50th.

Yes, you read that right – their 50th. Wow. Talk about making something stick.

May is also the time here in the Great State of New Jersey were Spring really seems to arrive. There’s always that chance of snow in April, but I think we’re out of the woods there. The grass has greened up nicely, the buds on the trees are finally deciding to awaken, and I hear the bullfrogs croaking in the late evenings when I take my dogs out.

The light is really nice too.

So, we’ll be taking advantage of it. More outside adventures and trips, near and far.

It’s another month to celebrate.

Get after it.
