Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love.

Spring time!

Wow, you can tell it's spring around our house. I've been having fun exposing the girls to all kinds of good stuff. We've been doing a bit of bird watching too. A family of robins had made a nest in our "swinging" tree out front (pic left) and surprisingly found a some of our fly away easter grass from Alyssa basket. I had to get a picture. It blew away when Alyssa brought a small basket home from church back at easter-time and I found it hilarious that it's reappeared. We got a chance to watch the mama sitting on the nest, then the babies hatched and we could watch them being fed. Then finally last week, while we were swinging they flew the nest. Alyssa loved watching them.

We've been helping Great Grandma Peters in the garden this year. Alyssa didn't seem too interest but loved hulling the peas with me, eating a few in between.

I'm enjoying my hydrangea bush. I had planted it a few years back and almost lost it to mold but it's back and bigger than ever! Beautiful baby blue color too!

 

Oh, Giana, you've been such a challenge. These are the faces I get on a daily, sometimes hourly basis. I've come to adore them and think they are quite cute. Most days Mommy has lost her last nerve and I'm finding quite a few gray hairs lately, but know that I love you dearly and you have been such a blessing to me and our family. I love you Giana Leigh!
