I am stalking the eagle. We've only ever seen one at a time, but there was one in the nest, and the other flying around. So exciting!


I love the big tree in this pic. The eagle is to the right.





(Can you tell how much I love using the new camera??:-)
My ultra short spring break was this past Thursday and Friday. However, I signed up for a Title 1 conference on Thursday. It was a great conference, but dang, on Spring break??? Anyway, on Friday, I dropped Bill off at work and kept on going down to my sister, Sharon's house. We went to lunch, did some light shopping, watched a movie, ate ice cream... super fun day. After dinner, we went outside.

I'm calling the above picture "I'm telling"
The dogs all had a great time too!


We walked back to see the horses...




Bill's mom and dad have geese that frequent their back yard. The dogs LOVE to chase the geese. In fact, when you ask Palmer if he wants to "get the goose" he gets insanely excited and runs to the door, barking.
so cute!

18 weeks! I felt an unmistakable jab (just one though). Can't wait until it's more frequent! My appetite is back. I have a feeling my last appointment, losing 2 lbs will be my last happy scale experience for a while...

Living in the country...
17 weeks! I'm 99% sure I felt a baby flutter or two, which is super exciting!

Last night we were at Jake's and Jake was just chilling at the bar. Loved it.

Lexie Lou Who
Okay, her name's actually Lexie Viola. This is my niece. I made her a tutu so we had to have a photo shoot. She's such a sweet and happy girl!
Look at those big brown eyes!!!
and those chubby legs!
Diana put the tutu on Lexie's older brother, Zander. He was just as pleased as he looks about it.

Zander...

...being his usual entertaining self :-) love him!

Palmer loves spring almost as much as I do. We were looking for the eagle, driving slowly with the windows down. He was enjoying the fresh air with his eyes closed. I think this is what pure joy looks like:-)


We went to see the eagle again. He was showing off big time and it was such a beautiful day!!!

Hopefully, this was the last snow. It was very pretty and got me a two hour delay on a day that was truly a blessing. However, I'm ready to say goodbye to winter...

Week 15. Apparently, the baby's legs are longer than it's arms and it has functioning joints. It's very weird to me that I have something the size of an orange in me, wiggling like crazy, and I can't feel it...

We went to see the eagle yesterday and thought we missed him, but Bill found him in a tree. There were some black birds messing with him (not the smartest thing I've ever seen) and he ended up putting on a good show for us. He flew right over the car at the end (it was raining, so we didn't get out...)!




week 14. Having weird dreams, pants are starting to not zip up. Even the hair tie trick isn't working!!!

flooding...

On Sunday nights we got horrible storms. We just had puddles here and there but the inlaws (who's vaca house is less than a mile away) had a moat around their house. This was the road leading to their house... the inside was dry though, thank goodness!

more flooding

...and this is their back yard/ boat garage. The river's supposed to be there. The waterfall is not.
