bits + pieces

I owe large posts of Spring Break and Easter pictures, but in the meantime, to tide us all over, here are some bits and pieces of life this week...

*Finally, finally, I think spring is here for real.  Sunshine and mid-sixties today, gradually climbing up to near eighty degrees early next week.  (and storms in the forecast... what else says springtime in Nashville?)

*Baseball, softball, baseball, and more softball. 

*We have a super smiley baby around here. Smiles when he sees our faces, smiles when he's is played with, smiles when he just hears our voices.  Love the baby smiles.

*We also have a baby who officially slept thru the night... like a long, real night, not the "technical" 7hrs they say counts for babies.  Went to bed just after nine last night and didn't wake up until almost seven this morning. I think we'll keep him. ;)

*I have our first homemade actual meal of the whole week in the crock pot as we speak.  I seriously have not cooked since Easter dinner on Sunday.  It's been a whole week of leftovers and fast food around ball games and practices.  I'm ready for a happy belly this evening.  Even made dessert. :)

*I am contemplating watching The Real World this season.  I haven't watched that in like 15 years. And even then I hated it. But it's in Portland... so you know, I kind of think I have to...

*I am so, so glad it's Friday. That's all I have to say about that.
