Watching the flowers grow...

I have been meaning to drop a line up here all week, but just never seem to get around to it. We have been pretty busy all week, getting nothing done.

Nothing that, is except for making the letter D with sidewalk chalk over and over again and watching the flowers grow. And smiling at the sun, and hoola hooping.

It seems like there is no better time to be a parent than in the early spring, when you get to get excited over spring buds and growing vines. Yesterday the Clematis grew before our very eyes: 2 inches up the trellis in one day.

This post was supposed to be about Adam's Birthday. He is 39 today, and looking good! He took the day off work and is mastering the fine art of relaxation. It is 1:57 in the afternoon and we still haven't made it out for the cup of coffee together before the kids get out of school and we go out to dinner.

Happy Birthday to My Best Friend and Fellow Life Lover.

I hope you enjoy your birthday half as much as I have enjoyed our marriage.

I am glad you are getting a nap right now. You deserve it. And sorry for being such a bitch sometimes. I'll declare it openly to the world so everyone knows what you put up with everyday. I love you. You are the most wonderful and inspiring person I have ever met.

(okay, you can all throw up in your mouths a little now)
