Spring has sprung!

I'm feeling better about the weather now. It's been warm for the last few days, and I got a little surprise when I walked out my door.



My tulips are blooming! There are only 2 right now, but I can see about 100 more blossoms that are ready to come out. I'm really excited!

I was also excited when my friend Mandy called me yesterday and said she needed a sitter for a couple of hours for today.

For those readers who don't know, my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for over 4 years now. Last October our prayers were answered when I got pregnant. However, just after Thanksgiving (I was 10 1/2 weeks along) I started having some problems and when we went to the ER they did an ultrasound and there was no heartbeat. So, right now, we've been struggling to get pregnant again (yeah for fertility meds), and since lots of my friends got pregnant around the same time I did, there are lots of babies around now. Which is good & bad for me. Good because I get to have lots of time holding babies, but bad because the babies aren't mine.

Anyway, today I got to babysit Treson (Mandy & AJ's 1 month old adorable son), and he was tons of fun. He only got fussy when he was hungry, but after a bottle, burping and a diaper change, he was wide awake, and curious about everything. Particularly about the noisy dog in the other room.

Thanks again, Mandy, for all the time I got to have with Treson! He's adorable!

Great tulip shot.......I love how you can see through the petals to see the other petals behind. The symatry is fabulous.

Hope you take lots of pics of graduation.

I tried to make a copy of the tulip but the printer wouldn't make it happen. Would you please e-mail me the picture? Marianne is especially fond of tulips and I want to give her a copy.

Beautiful tulip pic. I absolutely love tulips - I think they make me happier than just about any flower!
