Our Little Garden...


Over spring break the girls and I planted our meager little garden. We don't plant much. For starters we have no yard and therefore no dirt, so everything must go in pots on our patio... which isn't this biggest of spaces. Truth be told I kind of like having everything in planters, I find it a little less overwhelming. We are kinda new to this whole gardening thing after all. We once again planted husky red cherry tomatoes (our favorite, come to think of it we should have planted 2) anaheim green chilies, baby bush cucumbers, better boy tomatoes for slicing, and in the front we're trying some lettuce (which has already started sprouting, yay), some basil, parsley and chives, which we got from some yogurt containers... not really sure if we'll get anything from them. We'll probably venture into some actual flowers soon, they're kind of nice to have on the patio and the hummingbirds and butterflies are finally back. I eventually want to try a couple dwarf citrus trees and maybe a blueberry bush (I loved my mom's blueberry bush growing up). We'll have to see how these guys go and go from there. Hooray for spring!

Birthday Belle...

Here's some pictures from a birthday party we went to last weekend for the adorable little Sara, who was turning three (her daddy works with our daddy) and it was really nice to see some more folks we rarely get to hangout with since we Insomniacs kinda live all over the place down here. The party was at a beautiful new park down south from us and we were so lucky, once again, for no rain... it sure tried hard to though.

Can someone please tell me how she got so big?!

Belle was there face painting, playing games and making balloon animals for all the little ones.

That's Craig and his crazy camera. His little girl and Abby were born on the very same day. It's so cool to see his Izzy running around, just being a normal kid after all the heart surgery she's had to endure. Their story is simply amazing and you can read more about it here if you'd like.

No painting on the face for my girls, so on the hands they went... smart, very smart!





I love this picture! Lizzie is the only one getting her groove on with Belle.

PiƱata time!
