Maybe I shouldn't even post this...

...it really is kinda gross...

Several days ago I breezed past the table on my way to the sink and half a second past I heard my brain say, "there is an unidentified object on the table in the shadow of the fishbowl and it looks like...a little turd!" I immediatly spun on my heel to verify that I was indeed crazy and there was no such thing on my table. Upon a closer, slower look I beheld...yup! A very small poo... ...sitting on my kitchen table!!!!!! Quickly I whisked it away with a piece of toilet paper and cleaned the spot well, as if someone may look over my shoulder and see it before I could get rid of it. And, honestly, on the inside I about died laughing. I decided that the only logical thing to do was to blame my 2 yr. old and have a sense of humor about it...and thank my lucky stars that there was no company over for lunch!!! : )

Beauty all around me...

Last week I stepped out of my bedroom one morning and looked up. This is what I saw! Where the day before there appeared to be only lifeless sticks suddenly beautiful pink peach blossoms and tender budding leaves had appeared. Beautiful. Miraculous. Spring. ...it happens every year, but it never ceases to take me by surprise and cause me to catch my breath in wonder and delight!

I just havn´t been able to bring myself to cut these curls recently! : )

My second child has now entered a new phase in life, he has joined his big sister in the wonderful world of books, where extravagant adventures await and far off lands can be visited! Its so fun to see them spend many minutes, sometimes hours taken with the pictures and stories.
(P.S. this picture was not posed!)

And of course no picture blog entry is complete without a little bit of princess! : ) ...she will reach the 5 month mark very soon...where is the time going!?

LOVE that double chin! : )

It Official...

...my baby girl is definatly teething! I can´t see or feel anything yet, but based on excessive drooling, general grumpiness and an overriding need to chew, chew, chew on ANYTHING, I have given my diagnosis. Definate teething going on in this house! Its hard to believe that its time for that already! : )
