Hmmm

I'm again wondering what I should blog about, so I think I'll just ramble a bit.

I feel like I've settled in nicely to a new normal with my little guy. He'll be four months old tomorrow, but it feels like he's always been a part of my life. He's now jabbering at me quite a bit, playing with his feet whenever he can get to them, blowing raspberries, and wrapping his daddy and me tighter and tighter around his tiny little finger.

I have started taking Greek from my wonderful husband. I'm on my third lesson, and enjoying it so far. It's giving me a bit of a mental challenge, which I've really missed. I figure I'll be a little better equipped for helping him with typing up his notes and such. There have been times that I've had to interrupt his current study to ask a question about notes for a previous study, and I hope to get a good enough grasp of the language that I don't have to do that anymore.

I'm waiting for the rest of the tulips to die so I can get back to work on the ivy. I have noticed that the section that I have done already has little bits of ivy popping back up here and there. Never fear! I WILL win this battle! Eventually that silly ivy will get the picture, and we won't see it again. The tulips have been a beautiful sight! I've had yellow, white, pink, purple, dark purple ruffly, pointy pink, orange, red and pink and white striped tulips all blooming in the front beds. They're a fabulous array of colors. Unfortunately, I once again didn't think of getting a picture of all of them until some started dying. *sigh. One of these days...

Speaking of pictures, I've decided that to try to help me remember to take pictures, next month I am going to try to take a picture of at least 2 different things of interest every day. Keep a lookout for that!

Last for tonight, I've started copying a pattern from a finished cross stitch that my mom had. It's a birth announcement type cross stitch, with a stork carrying a baby in a blanket (blanket appropriately colored for boy or girl), with full name and birth date under the baby. Mom had 2, one for one of my brothers, and one for one of my sisters. They're both rather old and dirty, but fine for making a pattern from. I'm thinking I'll make eight of them. One for each of us kids, then I'll turn it into a quilt for Mom. I may enlist the help of my sister(s) over time so that we can get it done sometime this century! :D

My cranky baby (due to teething) is needing me, so I will end with this jumble of thoughts. Good night all!
