LITTLE MAN

This kid! The one who, just moments ago, was taking his first steps and had us wondering if he'd ever start talking, seems to have morphed into a full-blown toddler in the blink of an eye.




When he finally started talking, he really started talking, and now says thinks like "Hey you!", "Whoa Dude!", "Oh no!", "Where'd it go?", "More-pweese-tanku", and his siren sound, "Mee-nah, Mee-nah". The first thing he always says when he sees me is "Shoes-Outside-Walk?"  Hubby's personal favorite, of course, was when Lex called to to report that Calvin had just demanded to see "Papa NOW!"



Your wish is our command, Little Man.

ALTHOUGH SOME UP NORTH MIGHT DISAGREE...

I wish to announce that spring has officially sprung, here in central Texas.

Mexican Buckeye Blooms, About To Unfurl
Agarita Shrubs So Thick With Blooms, The Honey Fragrance is Swoon-Inducing
Loropetalum/Fringe Flower
The First Asparagus Sprigs
The Grape Kool-Aid Shrub (Texas Mountain Laurel) With More Blooms Than Ever Before
Looking Like A Bumper Year For Peaches
But, to all of you who have just had yet another foot of snow dumped upon you, trust me. You will have your revenge come August, when all of these plants will have already bit the dust from too much sun and not enough water. Gotta make the most of it while we can!

I SPY WITH MY LITTLE EYE...

Something right outta my childhood, only now it's being used as yard art!



Anybody know what carnival ride they are from? I'm guessing something along the lines of Tilt-a-Whirl, guaranteed to make me barf.
