Good morning, sunshine!

Not so long ago, Brad and I would slowly open our eyes in the morning, see that it was still dark out, and figure it wasn't time to get up yet.  Then our kids would come running in and inform us that it was in fact after 7:00, the time they are supposed to get out of bed.  They, in fact, prefer to get up much earlier.

Now its the opposite.  We open our eyes, see how bright and sunny it is through the curtains in our bedroom, assume we've overslept and jump up to check the clock.  6:10.  Looks like 10:10 outside.

Needless to say there is no longer any chance of our kids sleeping until 7 with all this early morning sunshine!

We have yet to set our clocks ahead one hour - that doesn't happen until this Sunday (always the last Sunday of March).  Once we do that, we will have a short break from the 6 a.m. wake-up call, but I know it won't last.  Soon enough the days will extend themselves and we'll be right back where we started.

I am, however, looking forward to having light long into the evening - soon enough it will be light until 10 p.m. which is so nice for evening walks or cutting the grass!
