Today I managed to be home for the latter half of the afternoon, which was fantastic. There were two cute babies running around in their diapers... until Helena loaded hers with pee and it started drooping... then it started dropping... then she cut herself free from the bonds of pampers and ran around butt naked and loving it. Logan and I laughed and laughed, she was just too cute with her little bottom running spastic around the house. Well, James must have been jealous of the attention we gave her, for as I was putting another diaper on the little ball of energy, he came out from around the couch with nothing on but his birthday suit. "hey, look at me! I can be naked and cute too!" then he ran off to the back of the house to attend to important things... like play with blocks.
naked.

Babies are like Goats
Babies are like goats... they'll eat anything. Yesterday Helena and James discovered that the leaves of our ficus come off when you pull on them. In addition to us discovering leaves in various random places throughout our home, the little kiddies tried to eat them. When Helena tried to put a leaf in her mouth, I sternly told her no. She proceeded to try to replace the leaf by holding it up to the plant again, hoping it would somehow reattach...
in other news, it seems that many of our friends are either pregnant now or recently gave birth. Babies are contagious, I guess.

pocket full of memories
Our lilacs are starting to bud, and I can't wait for spring. We keep getting teaser weather followed by gloom and wind. I really want to go outside and work in my garden and am frustrated that instead I'm confined to looking out the window at all the work that needs to be done.
I'm listening to Jason Mraz right now, I have been organizing our CD collection, and found this relic of 2002. I think it's Eric's, which was surprising to me, doesn't really seem like his type of music. I don't even like JM that much, but I do like that he is from Mechanicsvilles and so I feel closer to home listening. Also, I have really funny memories of Elizabeth Sieb when I hear it too. . .
Mary Rothlisberger dropped in on us the other day with her friend Lisa. She called our house phone, and I almost didn't answer because the number looked like a telemarketer's. I'm glad I did answer; there was a girl claiming to be Mary on the line. The only thing was I didn't recognize her voice or believe her at all when she said she was in Los Alamos. I thought it was some crazy person who had stalked us via our blog. It was really funny when we finally figured it all out; we got to catch up for a couple hours before she left as quickly as she had come. Seeing her made my day.
I had a nice weekend with Helena and James, they were in good moods, which was nice considering James has been rather a pill lately. Eric was gone leading a confirmation retreat, but some ladies from church brought some food over and Caryn K. came by and played with H&J saturday afternoon. So the weekend has gone by without a hitch and I'm alright with that.
This is a boring post. But not too much happens when you're in bed all day.

Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds...
We have a new bird feeder in our backyard. So far, I've seen at least three different species, although one is unidentifiable as yet. House Finches, Dark-eyed Juncos, and the mystery bird.
We thought we would install the bird feeder after the late finch who died such a tragic death. Hopefully his birdie soul will find peace through our actions... and birdseed. There's plenty to go round.
It is now Spring, and in New Mexico that means wind. Lots and lots and lots of wind. It's kind of miserable, really. Who wants to go outside when it's windy? the cold is tolerable, even in a t-shirt for short trips out to the garbage can. But wind? Bah. I say bring on Summer!
