Driver's Ed

She's practically a better driver than a lot of grown adults (oh, how I kid....sort of)......

and she's certainly cuter!



 

Lovely Day

Ohmylanta....so, according to our trusty almanac, the first day of spring was on Tuesday.  Or so it says.  However on Thursday morning--here in our neck of the woods--we woke up to this:

 
Ahem. Despite those sad looking daffodils, that doesn't look very springy to me. 

That said, my family and I were just a little more than thrilled on Friday AND today, when we had some of THEE most beeeauuuuutiful days of the year (at least so far!!!!).  I think the high today was 64 degrees?  And if you know us crazy Northwesterners, when we get gorgeous days like this, we go all out.

Like break out the new spring/summer clothes all out.

And go out and take pictures to have proof of a 60+ degree day all out. 

 






















 

And go and fly that kite we've been promising Peanut we would fly all out. 

 And even break out the flip flops all out. 

























 

Yes, yes, I know.  That belly is definitely showing and I probably should throw financial caution to the wind and spring (ha, ha, get it?) for that pedi.  Either way, here's to more gorgeous days ahead!

Oh, and in other delightful news.....I had my glucose test this week.  And the results?  I DON'T have gestational diabetes--not even close!  This was quite a concern, as I did have it with our little Peanut.  I have been watching what I am eating (although most wouldn't really even say that I have been very restrictive--just cautious) and I have been making use of my parents treadmill during our stay here.  Which if you know me, takes a tremendous amount of discipline for this I prefer not to exert myself kind of girl.  But either way--praise the Lord--I am blessed!

Oh, and I can I just share?!?!.....just 37 more days until our house is back in our possession!  Note I just said possession......we won't be living there quite at that point, as this nesting mama has an ever growing Honey Do/My Gracious Folks Can You Help Us {Hubs?} With? list.

But I am still way excited....can you tell?  

A Little R&R

I am not even going to give a bunch of excuses of why I haven't been blogging.

Because I have none, except for the fact that I am lazy.  Isn't that sad?!?!?!?

However.  

My little silly attempt like the Pioneer Woman's hotel tours.  :)

Hubs and my birthdays were both last week and we were given a delightful little joint gift of a trip to the beach this past weekend.   What a treat it was!  We haven't been to the coast (at least in our state--because we did get a chance last summer on our little trip to see my in-laws) since probably around 2006 (?) and we definitely haven't had a trip without our Peanut since she was born over three and a half years ago, so we were long overdue!  Plus, with our new little arrival early this summer, this was a great time to sneak in some R&R before the little man's arrival.  'Cause when you breastfeed, you can never be too far away!  At least was the case with our Peanut.   But I digress. 

It was just a nice, nice weekend.  The forecast called for rain and wind at the coast (pretty typical of the Pacific Northwest) but it actually turned out better than expected.  It didn't end up raining at all during the daytime when we were out and about.  BUT, we got the perfect amount of rain storms during both evenings while we cuddled up watching movies with the fireplace roaring.  Isn't that just a nice word picture? 

Did I mention we had a great weekend? 


























 
Because we really, really did.
