Spring

I am so relieved that Spring is finally showing its face! For the past week we've been able to take Eli on a walk around the block and sit on the porch swing with him because the weather has been so nice! It feels great, and he seems to enjoy his car seat and stroller (okay...so he really just sleeps through it...but still). It's nice to get out, since we're not supposed to take him around people until our horrible flu season is over here! I'm crossing my fingers this nice weather will speed things along!

Every year we plant a small vegetable garden in our backyard. Just a few items like lettuce, spinach, peas, beets, and potatoes. This year I'm taking bets as to whether it will get planted or not :-) St. Pat's day is next Monday and we're supposed to have the lettuce and spinach in by then. Let me just say that we haven't even broken out the tiller yet. We'll see!

A lot of people have been asking me how our small schnauzer Rica has been doing with the new addition. She was scared to death the first day we brought him home (literally shaking), but now she's great! She watches him a lot and will hang out with us in the nursery. She's been great about not touching his things, and will bring one of her toys into the nursery so she has something to play with! Rica's done WAY better than I ever expected! She's definitely been the baby of the house for almost 3 years!
