The Birds

Don't hate me.

I am OVER the birds that have built nests in my ferns.

There. I said it.

It's not that I care that they are in my ferns.

....And that it makes them hard to water for fear of disturbing the nests.

BUT

I have to DUCK DOWN every. single. time. I go out my back door.

And yes, I have to use that door.

That mother bird is doing exactly what she is suppose to do.

She swoops down at me to protect her babies.

I would swoop to protect mine too.

But, please mother bird....

EVERY YEAR in my ferns????

True story:

I used an umbrella last week to walk out my door.

Pitiful.

Look Who is SIX Months Old Already!

Favorite grandson

He weighs almost 19 pounds......He's 27 inches tall......

....and he's off the charts for cuteness.

SO WHAT if I'm the Nonny........... :)

Flower Girl

Our three year old granddaughter was the flower girl in a dear friend's wedding last night.

We weren't quite sure how she would do, but she did GREAT!

So so proud of you E.C.!!

Preschool Graduate!!! A Precious Niece

Don't you love how PROUD they are of themselves when they graduate?

I love that she felt special.

Thank you Jesus for M.

Please help her to ALWAYS feel proud of herself and always realize how special she is....

to YOU Jesus, 

and to Miss Angelove. 

Proud of you M!

Six Months!

How can you love someone this much when they are only six months old?

 

Man, I love this kid!

Suggestions???????????

No big deal here....just need a little suggestion.

I have one of the tall, glass apothecary jars in my kitchen.

I love to keep it filled with *seasonal* things.

Usually candy, since that's the easiest.

Most months are easy....candy corn at Halloween, etc.

Then comes May. And June.

???????????

Any suggestions??

Here is Easter 2010.....

Suggestions?????
