Easter Best

Opening Easter baskets in the morning--and having an Easter egg hunt with all the cousins in the afternoon. Eggcellent! 

9 Months Out

Love these sweet little baby parts--fingers and toes, and thigh rolls and the little curls on the back of his neck. 9 months old here!

spotted salamander spotters

Sometimes coming back from the bus stop you spot something strange. It looked like some kind of prehistoric creature had crawled out of the muck to chill in my front yard. Nope, just a Spotted Salamander! I may or may not have called the Animal Control office to find out how to handle this...creature. I was worried because it was still so, so cold out at night. I think they pretty much wrote me off as a crazy lady. I'm used to it. 

Birthday for Momma!

We had to wait a few extra days to celebrate my birthday because Big Daddy Paul was out on a submarine, but we made up for lost time. A picture of me with all 3 of my babies--just what I wanted for my birthday!
