I just learned how to make slideshows- check it out! In case you don't know, Miles is now 13 months old.

Spring is Coming!

Spring is coming and I can hardly wait. The best thing about spring is gardening and I love starting my seeds indoors about this time of year! I get to let off a little excitement so I don't explode waiting for may when I plant everything outside. Chad enjoys the garden but does not share the passion I have for gardening so this will help me to be able to talk and talk and no one has to listen to me. I'm afraid I bore people when they happen to ask about my garden or what I am doing. I end up spilling information and everything about my seeds and plants so fast it is like a dam breaking and I have to stop myself before I wash the poor soul away. It will be nice to be able to spew forth my feelings and excitement here and thus save my family and friends from my babbling mouth! Last years mediocre garden was acceptable only because we had just moved in. This year I am salivating at the thought of 50 flower bulbs laying in wait in my new front flower bed that are just biding their time for the next month. I am going to try more flower seeds this year and I am definitely looking forward to that. It is a lot cheaper to be a gardening maniac when you start your own plants from seed. Poor Miles will be my assistant gardener this year and I hope that he will grow up loving plants and gardening too. After all, someone will have to get truckloads of mulch for me when Chad is old and tired!

Happy Birthday Miles!

Miles is one! How the time flies- we had his first birthday party on 1/27/08 and we "think "he had a pretty good time! (as you can see!) He demolished his cake, and delighted in ripping off tiny pieces of wrapping paper off his presents. His cousin, Ashton, had to help or we would have been there all night! He is still a happy little boy and only gets whiny when it is time for mom to make dinner! He is a good eater and will try anything. In fact he almost "tried" a dead spider one morning. Me and Chad are loving every minute watching him learn and grow. He continues to be an early riser- 6:30 am sharp-to his mother's dismay! Thank goodness for naps!
