loving the new garden bed that John built me for Mother’s Day!  [photos above of Colin inspecting the work prior to adding rocks/dirt.]

planning what to plant in the new space, thanks to the nifty garden planner on smartgardener.com!

seeing Colin WALKING ON HIS OWN!  He is so proud of himself, but I’m even prouder.  [this video was last week when he first started walking, but I need to take a new one because I counted FIFTY steps in a row this morning!  also, maybe I need to stop counting.  can’t help it.]

listening to Pharrell’s “Happy” on repeat because Colin loves to dance to it and I love seeing his HUGE smile when it comes on.

reading Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close but I’m only one chapter in so it’s too soon to review.

watching episodes of 19 Kids & Counting on Netflix.  Basically I’m doing research to prepare for TWO of my own, right?

feeling congested.  Colin has been coughing for over a week and I just came down with a cold.  It would be so much more manageable if either one of us were allowed decent meds!

researching things to do on the Olympic Peninsula because we are planning to visit this summer.  [ideas?  please share!]

enjoying the INSANELY beautiful forecast for the week- highs in the 70s & SUNSHINE EVERY DAY!  [have I mentioned I love Seattle?]

waiting excitedly for our 20 week ultrasound TOMORROW!  Praying for a healthy baby who is willing to reveal his/her gender!
