Wow. I've been missing for a long time here!

Things that have happened:

*Lissy still isn't walking, but she loves to "walk" with us holding her hands.
*James and I actually went out to dinner by ourselves (leap year anniversary!) while all three kids stayed with a sitter.
*We bought Kaitlyn a first communion dress. It's coming up quick!
*Kait's been preparing for her first reconciliation, and it will occur on Saturday, March 8.
*I planted raspberries and blueberries and dinnerplate dahlias. I also have some herbs and flowers started in the house.
*We signed both the kids up for soccer. That starts later in March.
*We sold the elliptical machine, and we are working on buying a used playset and possibly an electronic piano with the money.

I'm sure there are more things, but I'm blanking right now! Not much has changed on the job front. I'm looking a little closer at some extra money opportunities, but I haven't jumped in yet!

Spring seems to have arrived here in Georgia - jonquils are blooming on the roadsides, my tulips are coming up, and we've even been in the 70s this week. We've gotten a few really nice soaking rains, but March is where the dryness started last year so we'll see how things go. I have three rain barrels ready to go since it sounds like we'll still be under a watering ban this year.

I posted a picture above of Felicity "helping out" while we planted the blueberry bushes yesterday. I bet that dirt was quite tasty. Kait is turning into quite the little gardener girl. We just finished reading The Secret Garden so she was having fun imagining herself as Mary. Even Jeremy was getting into the spirit by planting some apple seeds and helping with the mulch. We'll see how they feel when the weeds start coming up!

We're off for a walk as soon as Lissy wakes up. Hope everyone is doing well!
