Thoughts of the Day

To all readers, before proceeding be warned that this is going to be a random post, with no pictures. It has been a little bit since we last posted so these are my little tidbits for the day. You've been warned, continue at your own risk.

Spencer and Aine have both been real troopers this week. After a long, hard and stressful week at work I was excited to get on with my weekend. But, lo and behold, my throat started to hurt Friday night, just as we were starting to get out and about. I guess that is just what happens after a week of stress, but it definitely is not my favorite way of celebrating a much needed weekend. So, now I've got a cold. It is running it's course and I'm grateful for the patience of my husband and daughter. Spencer has been especially helpful is doing things like taking Aine grocery shopping with him so I could have time to get some much needed rest.

I've also been a bit down because as I've been walking to and from work lately the tulips have been disappearing and the temperature has been getting hotter. I think that spring graced us with her presence only for a few short weeks and then turned it over to summer. I'm not quite ready for summer. The spring flowers have been much too beautiful to give up that soon.

I have consoled myself with the anticipation of a camp out. I got a call from my mom (that rarely happens... love you, Mom). She is planning a family camp out in her backyard. She was afraid that it would be a hassle for us because of Aine, but I couldn't be more excited! There, of course, will be the added convenience of a house close by, just in case the little one can't hash a camp out. Plus, there's the added bonus of a shower! I'm hoping that it will be reminiscent of my younger years, when we used to camp every summer. Plus, I think Catherine needs more camping experiences with the family, since she missed out. :) I can't wait!

Okay, that is enough of my randomness, thanks for your patience. And for those out there who keep tabs on our blog just to see updates of Aine pictures... here's a couple of her right now... sleeping. Also boring. :) But don't you love how she sprawls out. It kind of reminds me of how our old cat used to sleep.

I guess we were doing the green theme today. Oh, I sneezed and woke her up while loading those pictures. It is too quite in our house for her to get used to sleeping with noise unfortunately. So, here's a couple more of her awake. Lucky ducks, you got away with reading a post that wasn't too terribly boring.
