It doesn't get much better than this.

This is my son. :) I like to say that, so let's do it again. This is my son :)

You guys out in the blogosphere haven't seen him since November of last year, when he was just a wee little fetus. He is now a super cute 4 month old :)

Becoming a mom is probably the most amazing thing that I will ever do in life. I could go on all day about how life changing it is, and how it goes by so fast, and how sometimes it seems to go really slow, and how stressful it is, and how you get these frequent moments of bliss and pure joy like nothing you have ever felt in your life, but the truth is, you will never get it until you become a parent yourself, and I need to get off of the computer and wash bottles....again. :)

This blog could use a name change

Maybe I should change the name of this blog to "Rachel's Excuses For Not Blogging Very Often. Seems fitting.

Today's excuse: I don't have one. I give up. You guys should know me by now. My follow through with this blog sucks. Sorry :p

So anywho, winter is over! Surely as I say that it will snow tomorrow. :p It's been a crappy winter. We were lucky in the fact that we never lost power for more than a few hours during the snow storms, and unlucky in the fact that our driveway seriously resembles a mud pit, lending us to be shut in for at least two days longer than everyone else. Well, everyone else but Steven. My God, I feel guilty complaining when I think about the torture he and Wayne have been through with that God forsaken driveway of theres. Point of the story? Snow really sucks. It's pretty, and thats all that its good for. No wonder Sarah Palin is a nut. The Alaskan snow is eating at her brain.

So the best part of the spring is no snow, and right below that is the flowers. It does my soul some good to watch the flowers sprout and bloom. The tulip tree in our yard bloomed this year. That never happens. It's marvelous. And the best part of the flowers, other than picking them, is taking pictures of them. Yep, you guessed it, I have Spring pictures to share. :) Enjoy :)

First true sign of Spring. Dirty hands!!

So pretty :)
