Our Own March Madness

Where did March go?  I am so serious.  It seems like we blinked and now it is almost April!  I know Spring Break was in the middle!  :)

We have had a very busy and productive month.  I guess I should say Dan has had a very productive month.  On top of finishing painting the girls' rooms, Dan has completely ripped out our old flower beds and made new beds.  I have tried helping as much as possible, but it seems like I do more supervising and being there for moral support!  :)  Our new flower beds are absolutely gorgeous.  I cannot wait to watch all of the pretty plants grow.

The next project is start on Jack's room!  Looking at the blog tonight, I cannot believe he will be here in less than 100 days.  :)  He is a very active little boy - squirming and moving a lot these days.  Jack's room will be decorated in "pickup trucks and pups"!

Fabric A and Fabric B are the fabrics for Jack's bedding.

What an Honor

What an amazing week it has been for me!  THANK YOU to all of you who are part of my constant support group!  My job is a 24/7 passion.  Those of you closest to me know how much it means to me.  I am so lucky to wake up each morning and love what I am doing.  


I am posting these wonderful memories as documentation for my memory!  :)

Gorgeous flowers that the HSES Staff sent me!

 The following are just a few of the amazing posters the teachers and students displayed in the mail hall to surprise me.  Tears were shed reading all of these!!!!!

To Do....To Do....

I am so sorry I have not been posting lately.  We have been very busy with our home improvement "to do"list!  Well, let me rephrase this...Dan has been very very busy!  He painted the girls' rooms and moved all the furniture around.  They love their new purple rooms!  I get to do the fun part and start decorating! Also, we have made room for Jack.  We are excited to get started on his nursery!  Now Dan has started outside by completely starting over on the front flower beds.  It is going to be so pretty!  


With all the hard work, we have found time for some fun.  We celebrated Grandmama's birthday with a great cookout.  Also, we celebrated Nicholas's 2nd birthday at Partyland!  We must find time for a little R & R in all of this work!  :) 

Love these pics from Grandmama's birthday celebration!  

 Fun Times at Playland!  Happy Birthday, Nicholas!
