Spring Break!

I thought it'd never come, but I am officially on SPRING BREAK!!!  Ya-hooo!!!!  We really don't have much planned for the 2 weeks I'm off besides working on our backyard and fixing that up.  I've develop a recent interest in gardening, so have been planting up a storm!  Now, a lot of my seedlings need to be replanted.  It's so exciting to watch the growth process (I'm weird, I know!).  It just makes me appreciate the small things so much more.  It also keeps me in constant awe of how God takes a little seed (dead) and grows it (gives it life).  How often do I forget how "dead" I was, before choosing to follow after Him.

I'm including some pictures below of what we've all been up to this past month or so.

Aw, is Natty taking gymnastics? Chloe loved it at a party she was at, so I've been thinking about it too. Love her in her little princess outfit, and go you with your garden. Not weird at all~it is so neat! We generally have black thumbs, but have had a lot of luck with tomatoes, so think we'll try them again this year if our landlord will let us!

Yup! Natty has been in it close to a year (if not already - I forget). She started around 18 mts. through the city's parks and recs. program. She was doing it through the city for a few times before we actually enrolled. She LOVES it!!! Thanks on the outfit! A gymboree-find I believe - LOVE that store! Thanks on the garden! I am trying tomatoes for the first time (steak tomatoes), and hope they turn out good!!! Looking forward to some home-made salsa and bruschetta. The only thing I haven't been able to keep alive are orchids, and I'm so bummed because they are one of my fav. flowers. I'm determined to get them going though!
