The Magic Tree

I saw this stick-on tree and bought it on a whim when we were getting our bedroom ready for kids, not really sure where I would put it but really loving it. It now is over the changing table/dresser. Mr. Baby has loved it from the first day we brought him home. He stares at it, talks to it, and has started reaching out for it, especially for Piglet. It's a great place to put him when I just need a minute to do something. At least until he starts rolling over...

Spring Planting

A few weeks ago we were able to plant some things in the boxes on our front porch.

Small dahlias in the long boxes.
Last year's rose bush in the pot.

Daisy's inspection.

Daisies for the Daisy: white petals with purple centers.

We also planted green onions, basil, and Kentucky Mint in small pots. We hope to expand our herb garden, but this is a good start. Cousin Aymie found us a small wrought iron patio table at a garage sale last weekend. We are so excited to have it, just have to arrange how to get it here.

Easter 2012

Easter was crazy this year! We had just brought Mr. C home on Wednesday and had Jane staying with us to help with the transition. Then on Saturday, Natalie and Nic brought the girls over for the weekend. They had spent the previous week in Oregon with their friends and came up to see us (the baby, really) on the way back home. We had fun, but it was too quick.

The girls just wanted to do this:

Aunt Natalie just wanted to do this:

We did manage to dye eggs and do a few hunts at the park down the street. The girls came to church with John while I sang in 8 services that morning. It really was crazy! Thanks for visiting, you guys.
