I don't remember feeling this happy that it is Friday in a very long time. We're just going to be hanging around this weekend. (Sorry... couldn't help the lame pun.) Have fun.

Insomnia

Things have been frustrating at work and it has been keeping me up at night. I toss and turn because I really hate confrontation. Last night Dexter also woke up in the middle of the night. There is nothing like a baby's hug and a cuddle as you rock him to sleep to get a little perspective. Plus lately, the middle of the night is about the only time he ever stands still.

Friday Night Jam Session...

Check out Rory in her dress up clothes in the background. Everything's better with wigs.

Back to work...

I'm on vacation and sitting here with Joel. He's watching The Bourne Ultimatum, which stars one of my favorite older hotties, David Strathairn. We've been having tons of fun so far. Dexter is pretty content just to play catch with a balloon all day. So he has a whole toy box full of toys when a .99 cent trip to The Party Store would have sufficed. The Easter Bunny might bring a few more balloons, a cardboard tube from the inside of a paper towel roll, and a little mini broom and dust pan and call it a day. Dex should be in heaven. Last week he added the words "Bye, Bye" and "Thank You" to his repertoire. Needless to say Joel and I are hard at work prepping the early admission applications to Harvard.

A year ago on St. Patrick's Day weekend this is what the Little Man and I were doing. It is crazy how fast this year has gone by. I can't believe how much he seems like a little man already.

Orchids Part II

My mom's pictures are even better...

Orchids by Hausermann Part I

Today Dex, my mom, Jen and I spent the morning at Orchids by Hausermann. This is only part one because I think my mom's pictures are way better than mine so I'll probably post those too. First, it was nice to spend this morning in a greenhouse to get my spring fix. (The ten degree weather coming on Thursday certainly won't grant me that.)

So behold: Some pretty orchids--


Little man...roaming down the ailes like he owns the place...

What kind of plant is this? I assume cactus, but what kind? I must know. Google searches of dreadlock cactus were not successful

And although he was an angel all day, Dex got into lots of trouble at home.
