spring is coming!

We are so excited that spring is on the way. Soon after I gave up hope seeing any real snowfall this winter, I was ready for flowers and warm afternoons. Here's our first arrival: a daffodil I planted along the front walk. I'm still captivated by daffodils and irises especially.

In other news, Michelle and the baby had another checkup, and all is quite well. We'll hear results for the bloodtests soon, but all the signs are good so far. It hardly seems real. Michelle has begun nesting, as she's making a quilt and other baby room stuff. She's quite a seamstress. We're still worried about her back being strong enough to have a good pregnancy and delivery, but the fibro meds are slowly working, and the chiro reports that it's getting better. We just need to trust God that He'll take care of us.

He's certainly taking care of our financial needs. I've had a few side jobs lately, and all of them have come and found me. I hate sales, so it's a blessing not to have to pursue work. These aren't lucrative jobs, but it helps pay the bills, and especially the credit cards. We're praying that we'll pay off the MasterCard soon (which would take a miracle) but meanwhile we're loving the 0% interest!

Andy, Lynn and Gideon stopped by last night. Gid is so freakin cute I can hardly stand it. I can only hope our kid is half as cute and cool as he is. They're going to NY for the summer for an internship with IBM (I think). Apparently Andy's going to start a blog over on atlblogs, so be on the lookout.
