Loving Spring

Asbestos folks are coming out tomorrow. They say it's a 1-day job.

I just got off the phone with the flooring folks who will be putting tile into our new kitchen. They will install next week! Next week! Then there's a rush to get the cabinets, lighting, and plumbing set up and another loooooooong wait for the counter tops to be made and installed (3 weeks). Then we're pretty much, almost kinda, 90% done. Wow.

With that news, and a solid workout done this morning, and both kids unconscious in their beds for quiet time, I'm in a stinking good mood.

So, I thought I'd share some other things that make me happy :)

Being outside in the green

I said, "Hey James, let me get a picture of you in the grass." He falls to the ground and pulls this "tricky move."

He sees me pointing the camera at him. He pauses, furrows his brow, and *click* it's all over.

Popsicle mouths

Blue eyes, blue lips.

Sandals and riding bikes

Delicate rock collections

Robert probably made this while he was supposed to be getting dressed or something. Absolutely beautiful. Too bad James swiped it all off just a few minutes later :( Sharing a room can be such a drag sometimes.

Baby peaches in my own backyard

I love seeing the baby peach burst through the spent flower. There's something so metaphysical about it...the flower has its moment, then withers away just as the fruit is born...different phases in my life...growth can mean change.

Bubble forts

Bobby helped the kids with this one. They still don't quite understand how it works, but it's a lot of fun.
