Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

March (so far)

Last week we had another wildlife encounter - this time inside the house! It was really nice out one day, so I opened a bunch of windows. I opened our master bathroom window even though it didn't have a screen on it, thinking it would be no big deal since there aren't many bugs around yet. Later, I walked into the bedroom and a bird came flying out of nowhere right by me! It landed on the window sill and just sat there. I think we scared each other - I gave a loud yelp when I first saw it. So I put on some gloves and let him out. Sean got a nice up-close look first though. By the way I am not making a fashion statement with those pants. I was working on stripping the wallpaper in our bedroom and then painting it. That project is finally done!

Here's the result of playing peekaboo during a pasta lunch. Don't you just love Sean's camera smile? :)

Grandma and Grandpa Spoon are here for a visit. Grandpa read Sean some books in the tent.

February update

I'm not sure where February went, but apparently it's over and we're halfway through March! Here's the February recap from the Spoonhower household....

It's hard to believe we had so much snow just about a month ago! Once we got a good amount shoveled, Sean could push his mower around again.

Snack time in Daddy's office.

Sean had fun playing with the bubble wrap that had covered the window opening while the window was being repaired. Someone (he-hem) in our house is a total spaz and broke through both panes of glass while trying to open the (sticky, previously-painted-shut, 50-year-old) window.

Cleaning day.

I think Sean wanted to be held, but he had to wait until I was finished washing dishes.

Playing in the tent with Dad.

I have some March pictures that I will put in a separate post.

In other news, Jeff landed a contract job just north of San Francisco, so we are moving (temporarily - about 5 months) in the upcoming weeks. So pardon the lack of blog posts, our lives have been just slightly busy!!!
