Playtime in the afternoons is so much fun! Jacob loves to spin the globe on his activity center and hear the languages from around the world. We love to sing while we play, too!

The Bloomin Festival
We had such a great time at the Bloomin Festival with Memaw and Papa. Jacob was so tired by the afternoon that he fell asleep sitting up and then fell over sideways! We just love Arts and Crafts Festivals.
We bought this slate roof tile that is over 100 years old, handpainted for our front porch.

Tilling Up Our Land
Mom and Dad came to help us get our garden started. Dad was a huge help with the tiller. We tilled a 1200 sq foot garden!
The menfolk worked so hard tilling the land and clearing the rocks. But when they were finished a hearty lunch of pot roast and mashed potatoes awaited them inside, along with an ice cold glass of sweet tea!

Tending Blueberries
I love to sit out among the blueberry bushes, picking weeds and tending to the bushes. It is so peaceful with the birds singing and the breeze blowing.

Daddy's Coming Home!
Rick is on his way home! He is in Birmingham so he should be home soon.
I finally did some scrapbooking last night. I have not had much time at all to work on it since before Christmas. I am just now working on Thanksgiving and early December pictures. I am so behind, but it felt nice to be making something again.

Garden Plans and Homemaking Notes
Last day before Rick comes home!
Princess is really missing her daddy. Every time he calls, she thinks he is home and runs to the door. She has been jumpy all day.
We received the card Mom had made for us when we moved. She said that Dad forgot to mail it, so it just came today. I still haven't heard from her though. I left her a message earlier, but I suppose she is just busy.
I took some good notes today on homemaking. I have been trying to find information for our garden. I did find some good tips. I also found some good tips on cleaning and homemade cleaner recipes.

The First Day of Spring
Today is the first day of Spring, although it certainly doesn't feel like it. It is cold and rainy. We are expecting severe storms this afternoon.
Today I am trying to finish painting the doors and closet doors in our bedroom. It is taking so many coats. Paint can make such a dramatic difference. I am glad I am getting done, but I am exhausted.
I am excited for Mom to see what we have done, since she is the only one who saw the house in it's original state.
Jacob has been so pleasant this week. He is babbling all of the time, he will be talking in no time. He has been calling Princess "ya-ya". I don't know why, but it is cute.
Jacob took a big boy bath today. He sat up in the tub and played with a rubber duckie. I could not convince him to splash in the water though. He looked at me like I was crazy when I did it. Perhaps he will catch on...
I finally have my schedule worked out. Rick helped me with it over the phone. It looks like it will be pretty good. Busy, but not overloaded. Just the way I like it. :)
