Magnolia blooms



the picture doesn't do it justice, but our magnolia tree is blooming and the spring breeze sends their sweet smell into our house these days. with the warm days, we are spending more and more time outside and both girls go to sleep tuckered out. Claire is finally able to enjoy some time at the park - i can actually put her in a swing now and she loves to be pushed in it! and Skye is running around barefooted and getting lots of sun.

this weekend, we will celebrate Skye's 4th birthday. we will be busy getting ready for her party. with 10 kids to help us celebrate, we've decided to have the party at a park. i couldn't imagine anything worse than 10 kids all cooped up in a house! which will happen if it rains, but i'm hoping i won't be tortured that way.

with the warm weather, i'm also beginning to feel the need to exercise. it's been really hard to find the time to do any of that. pool season is approaching rapidly and i'm looking down at my flabby belly, knowing nobody else cares, but i certainly care. there's nothing like putting on a swim suit after having a baby. your hips feel enormous, your belly jiggles, and your boobs look like they're about to hang out. i know, most of you think i'm pretty petite and should have no problems, but my body's still readjusting back to its former shape.

hope you're all enjoying spring. we certainly are taking advantage of the sunshine!
