New stuff, lovely spring

First off, I want to thank my dad for leaving a comment on the blog. Comments really make me think "I need to post again soon," so thanks, Dad.

Today I got something super-cute in the mail. (Hint: check out my feet in the picture below.) Thanks D&R! You can also see the glasses I picked up from Walmart last weekend in this picture. I can see thinks in the distance a lot better now, and it makes me feel happier about being outside (since things are not a bit blurry any more). It has been really nice outside lately. Today I weeded our flower bed and watered the snapdragons. We planted them in October I think, and they are getting to be a nice size. Since they seem to be doing well, we will probably leave them be for the summer. Brian got some bulbs a couple weeks ago, and I might put them in this weekend. It is a little tricky since all the trees in our yard make one side of the flowerbeds shady, but I got some bulbs that say they can handle that. Our crocuses from last year are coming up again, and we have some nice bright pink flowers on one of the bushes. The last couple days, I have been opening several windows when I get home. The air is so fresh!


When I was at Walmart last weekend (when Brian was in DC), I finally picked up a computer camera for Skype. We did find our old camera, but it doesn't have drivers compatible with Vista, so it did not work on my computer. This new camera seems fine, and it came with a new headset (in the picture).

Horaaaaaay! You got a Skype camera! The kids will like to talk to you and Brian and see the ferrets again. I'm glad you like the slippers.

Lucky you with the spring weather! I could go for some of that fresh air, especially with the cold I got over the weekend... The flowers sound great - you'll have to post pictures as more come up!
