Father Forgets

This is precious. Stumbled upon it today as part of a book I'm reading. Wow, brought tears to my eyes. I went in while the girls were napping and sat with them for a bit while they slept.

Star Wars and Star Trek

Well, I know it's a bit early, but I decided to introduce the girls to Star Wars via Episode I. Just before that, I arrived home with my four Star Trek glasses from Burger King. Given their interest in the glasses is what prompted me to show them the Wars. I know I could have gone with a Star Trek movie, and that is a natural progression. But the fact is Episode I has a lot more kid-friendly elements than any Star Trek movie.

Gardening

This week, we've been working most evenings to get ready for a new garden on the East side of the house. Been leveling the ground and digging out some old roots and trees. Also went to Eiseley's to get some plants - bought a sun gold tomato, patty pan squash, zucchini, red bell pepper, and some others. We also have a half-dozen other tomatoes, two blueberries, and I think we're going to try and score some raspberries and dahlias.

Empire Mine State Park

For Mother's Day (a day early) we took the family plus both Grandmothers to Empire Mine State Park in Grass Valley. We had a wonderful time.

Crafting Birthday Cards

Today is my mom's birthday. It's been raining for several days, and since we can't play outside with the girls, we decided to do something fun indoors. We made Birthday Cards. Sarah and I went to Michael's yesterday and picked up some supplies. Then we put a sheet down in the front room and proceeded to have a great time.

Winter Wonderland

We woke up this morning to white snow covering everything. I think I got up around 6:45 and snow there was about 1/2 inch on the ground. It was still snowing, and I think before it stopped we got 3/4-1" on the ground. The girls decided to put on their warm clothes and play for a bit.

Fun around the house

Nothing major, just some fun pics of Ella and Emily around the house. I *think* Lucky is warming up to Ella. :)
