Please pray for baby Stellan.

It's that time of year when I get a planting bug. It's my annual time to garden and then I get over it.
I planted another calla lily in the back-side yard along with a new tomato plant and some rosemary. In the front, Ian helped me add a few assorted plants to the front entry walk-way and then we planted some candy tuft as filler on the side of the driveway. We uprooted a couple of old dead plants and got really distracted by ROLLY-POLLYS!
I'm not a bug person. I get pretty creeped out by most things and avoid spiders at all costs. BUT I think rolly-poolys are so fun. I have fond memories of playing with them and letting them crawl all over my arms.

It seems my kids love them too.

(almost)Wordless Wednesday



Amanda and her buddy, Cade


He's waited SO LONG to hear the words 'PLAY BALL!'

March has definitely come in like a LION. Well, it's never quiet around here so I guess I can't even use that excuse. I promised a few pictures from our Mountain Adventure; so here goes.
This is the kids happy as clams as we are unloading and moving everything from my broken down Suburban. Always a party......

Lots of snow and icicles around
Maggie didn't even mind walking Fritz
Amanda really is 'Punky Brewster' (did I just make myself look old?)
Amanda and Ann (cousin-extraordinare/hot-chocolate maker/perfect smore toaster)
our friend, Dale, chillin' withe Fritz
Ian is the essence of a 4yo
STEAK!
Sean turned NINE (and yes, he is eating cake for breakfast!)
it's the little things that get you through crazy weekends sometimes.
