March Snow

We woke up this morning to a surprise snow. It was the best kind. All on the ground and not on the road. I got this one of the forsythia covered in snow before the sun came out to melt it all away.

Snow on the Forsythia

Mom & I took an excursion to the reservoir where we saw a number of birds, and some really nice scenery. We missed a heron, it flew off before we could get the cameras going. Maybe next time.

Snow on the opposite shore.

Waters edge.

Snowy creek.

Ducks on the lake.

Three headless ducks?? I wonder what they are looking for?

Cattails

Azaleas already blooming.

Love the hairdo.

Spring Snow

What a surprising sight this morning! It was predicted, but.... we usually are disappointed. Yet it did finally materialize to our surprise a whole inch or two of snow.

Snowy tree tops with the half moon still in the sky.

Spicy Lunch

Walter was home for lunch today and he took me out to share a bite at his absolute favorite restaurant, Mi Hacienda. Well, I thought it would be fun to try out some of the spicier items on the table. Mom, was along for the coffee, but couldn't resist getting these photos while we were there.

Oooohhh Noooooo! I can't believe that I actually ate Habenaro sauce. Feel the burn! Walter tells me that Uncle Tim once tricked him into eating but not me, I did it all on my own. And after all that......

Always up for a bit more torture. Here I voluntarly "drank" the red salsa. Yum yum. Everyone tells me that I'll be paying for this stunt later on tonight.

Practice

Practice went well tonight . The pitcher's are looking good and so is the rest of the team. I took several fairly good shots this evening, but kept having trouble with the dust that was hanging in the air. Yucky, splotches on the images.

Report

Faith's mommy called today to give us a growth report from the doctor. She is now up to 9 lb 9 oz and 21 3/4-inches long.

In the Nursery

Miss Faith in the church nursery. Having a bit of lunch before church.

Baseball Practice

Faith's First Visit to Church

Danielle & Ben were able to bring Miss Faith to church this morning. She spent the entire church service in the nursery. She was such a good girl. Here she is as she was dropped off.

I was able to get my hands on the little princess for a few minutes before she was whisk off to visit with everyone in the church who had been anxiously anticipating her arrival.

Baseball Website

I created a team website for Sean's baseball team. Since I'm going to be team mom I thought that I shoulld do it up right. This way the schedule and team photos will be readily available to all.

Construction Status

Walt & Sean put a front porch on the fort today and have it completely framed. All that is left is to add the walls and a roof.

Baseball Practice

The preseason has begun in earnest. The boys practiced for two hours today and this evening Sean was feeling it. Here is looking towards a great year!

It Can Happen!

It does happen on occassion, I was able to get these great pictures of Sean out in the backyard.

Construction Continues

The boys have put in a lot of work today putting together the tree fort. It is amazing at the level of cooperation and assistance that they have given one another. What a great way to head into the weekend, with their project on track for the next phase.

Construction Crew

Walter and Sean are working together to build a fort for Sean. Here they are cutting a 2x4 for one of the support beams. This looks like it will be a three or four day project.

New Movie

The boys and I watched Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire. It was much more somber than the previous three, yet did follow along with the book quite well.

Rest In Peace

This evening, Walter's rat, Dash passed away at the age of 4. He lived an extra long life. He was a faith companion and will be missed by all.

All Dressed Up

This afternoon, Sean & I made a quick drive down to visit with Miss Faith and her mommy. So this was an opportunity for Faith to see her Uncle Sean and she did a fabulous job of show him just how sweet and loveable that she is. Danielle showed us several home movies that she and Ben had taken, staring Faith. Boy does she sure enjoy taking a bath. After getting all bundled up we headed out for our errands and the rest of the day.

Visiting at Mamaw's

I got to go and visit with Mamaw before my Mommy had class. Mamaw even let me "sit" on the sofa so I could talk with her.

Play Time

Playing with my colorful mobile.

Nap Time

Naptime. I sure do like to sleep on my tummy.

Shhh! The little princess all snuggled up and sound asleep.

Bath Time

This was my first full fledged bath. I sure did enjoy hanging out in the water. There were even a couple of times that I tried to bite the water.

Well...I did have to get out of the tub for this!

Faith

Valentine Baby

Mom made me model this ridiculous hat that my Mamaw & Grandpa bought for me. The things that they will dress me in.....

Flu Bug

Well, it happened the flu bug has struck our house. The boys came down with it yesterday and it appears that I am next. It looks like we are going to have to let it run its course , hopefully it will have cleared out by Monday.

Update on Faith

Danielle took Faith in for a check up on Friday, she weighed in at 7 lbs 12 oz and was 21" long.

A Visit with Faith

Miss Faith has been having trouble sleeping the past couple of days. It seems her mommy got into some "spicy" food that ended up giving Faith and everyonelse a few sleepless nights. She seems to have settled down, perhaps the the spice has gone out of her life for now. I guess that she'll just have to wait until she is older to try spicy food again. I was glad to be able to help out give everyone a little time to get caught up.

The little angel is sleeping.

Faith with her Mamaw

Finally awake and all cleaned up.

A big yawn before giving a look up at Mom.

Playtime with Mommy, surely there is a giggle in there waiting to come out.

Snow

We had a brief snow over the weekend. While New England was dealing with record snowfall we only got about an inch and it melted as soon as the sun came out. Maybe we'll get a better snow before the winter is out, but it is doubtful.

Our Visit

Danielle with Faith

Miss Faith asleep in her Mamaw's arms.

All alert and looking around.

Happy Birthday

Today Danielle celebrates her birthday. Here is to another wonderful year filled with joy and happiness.

Look What I Found!

Ben took this cute shot of Faith finding her thumb.

My Visit with Danielle & Faith

Sleeping in my carrier.

Faith finally awake and fed.

We popped her binkie out so that we could see her pretty face. She has the same expression here that we have of her mother in a photo of her as a baby.

Miss Faith seems to be asking if she can have her binkie back.

Hmmm...can I go back to sleep?
