1. Nora has her first "boyfriend."  She and Jaxon play together "all the time" and "call each other girlfriend and boyfriend."  I'm not crazy about the concept but seeing the two of them say hi to each other in the hall each morning is worth it.  They both look SO bashful and smiley and cute.
2. This weather is amazing.  It makes me want to move somewhere more temperate.  For now, I'll just lie to myself that our weather will ALWAYS be this way.
3. Old friends.  Spent the day with an old friend the other day.  It was restoring.

1. We went to the beach on March 14.  Please let this be our new climate because we love it.
2. Had a picnic lunch with the girls today.
3. Birdy tells killer knock knock jokes.
4. I'm grateful for access to good healthcare.
5. Nora told me this morning that Grandpa was speaking to her from her heart.  He was saying, "Move on....  Go on your journey."  In a kind of spooky voice.
6. Joe and I had third row seats to see Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt.  We had such a wonderful time.

1. Nora spotted our first robin this morning.  I love that she knew that they were worthy of spotting.
2. Birdy has taken to hauling my first Cabbage Patch Kid, Gunther, around.  
3. Birdy spoke at 'school' today for the first time.
4. Working with a team of positive, creative people is energizing and I love it.

1. Nora told me that "jealous" means "what people feel when they see her bottom."
2. We had a lovely family get away in downtown Chicago.  The girls loved Chicago and can't wait to go again.  It's fun to experience it through their eyes and remember my own firsts around their ages now.
3. Joe traveled last week and then had Friday off.  We took the girls to the movies and then decided to get a sitter and went out to a nice dinner and out for a bit.  I love that guy.
4. Lemon in my water is making me happy.
5. Becca's wedding invitations are designed and ordered!
6. Birdy's "k" sounds are currently t's.  Otay and tookies melt my heart.
7. The girls are often so loving to each other that it about breaks my heart.  (Of course, the opposite can also be true.)
