As I write, some overzealous lawn-master is mowing his lawn. I still have snow in some parts of mine and even if the grass were long enough to mow it's still so matted and flattened from the snow that you'd never be able to tell!
We've had a busy month of traveling to California and moving, but it's all done now and pictures will soon be up.
California was beautiful and sunny. Anna and I laid on the grass in the sun and ate oranges from her orange trees. Flannery ran wild with her cousins. Literally. I didn't brush her hair for 4 days and by the time we left she had little dreadlocks, which cause much sadness when it was time to brush them out. Brendan puttered around in Nate's shop and built me a cd shelf.
When we got back to our house we packed it up, or rather many good kind friends packed it up because I was still pretty nauseous. Then we moved the Saturday after we got back. We love our huge backyard and intend to begin our raised bed building this weekend. Fitting for Easter I think.
Flannery is bobbing around the house chanting things these days. We have had never-ending renditions of "little bunny foo-foo" except her version goes, "little baby Seussy...". Today the word of choice was "choclake" over and over and over in a little chanting voice. That's her version of chocolate in case you couldn't tell.
She also has a new interest in personal hygeine as related to prettiness. So, this morning after eating strawberries she went into the bathroom and spent a LONG time with the water running. Finally I called her out. She came up to me very concerned that she still had strawberry on her face and it was making her face "not pretty".
Anyhow, I just wanted to update. We'll post pictures later. I'm doing much better - I think I'm actually over the morning sickness now. We've heard the baby's heartbeat, I've felt movement and I'm definitely showing, so now begins the fun part of being pregnant.
