Sunshine and Roses

Well, not really roses, but it sounded like a nice title for a really nice day. I wanted to write this post a few days ago, but life with fussy 6 and half week old means I rarely get to finish what I start on the same day. Including this blog post!

It was a such I nice day that I really wanted to get outside, plus my herbs desperately needed a spring pruning. So I asked Zack if he would put this little outside bed-thing on the porch for me, and I put Zana in it while I worked on the herbs.
It's a really neat thing as one side acts as a shade against the sun, and the other has a screen to keep the bugs out.
As you can see the poor sage and mint were not looking their best. Not only were they seriously overgrown, but also had gotten a light freeze on them a few times since they had been put back outside a month ago.
There, much better! Now they look ready for some healthy summer growth. I can't wait to harvest some sage again. I use quite a bit for my cooking, and actually had to buy some recently.
Guinivere also wanted to come out, but alas she's been an in-door cat since we moved here, and certain neighborhood cats have their territories all staked out. One such cat, we call him Bobtail, is the meanest one of the lot. He won a territorial fight against our neighbor's cat, and now she has to be careful in her own yard! Sorry Guiny, but you're better off staying in the house.
Beauty shoot. It felt so good to be outside again! I even got out the jogger and took Zana for a walk later in the afternoon. The rest of this week it's been super windy and I haven't been able to get out again.
Hopefully now that I'm getting used to being a mommy I'll be able to blog more often. Here's hoping!

Somebody is Jealous!

"Mommy, you need to stop looking at these new baby clothes and pay attention to me now!"
"I mean it! I'm way more important."
Needless to say, Guinivere is going to have a lot of adjusting to do. :-) And I need to go call my grandma now!

Stuff for Baby!

A friend of ours offered Zack and I a couple baby items a couple weeks ago. He didn't know what kind of condition they'd be in, but said we could do whatever we wanted with them. We were so grateful! It was especially fun to see Guinivere getting herself acquainted with them. :-D

"What in the world could this be? I think I'd better make a thorough inspection."

"Defense system online..."

"Hmm, it doesn't look like it's going to bite me."

"I'd better make absolutely sure."

The walker seems to be in wonderful condition and I especially love that there are only a couple toys attached to it. I'm of the mindset that less is better than more when it comes to things like this.

"Now, what could this one possibly be?"

Unfortunately, one of the bars across the top was broken, and didn't appear to be fixable. So we are still looking for a Pack-n-Play.

In other news my mother-in-law just brought over the bassinet that Zack's little brothers used!!! Things are coming together for little Baby Lawrence. :-D
