It's Tuesday Again!

...and we are celebrating Miriam's 14th week of life. She started her day nice & early due to going to "bed" at 7 p.m. last night. She woke twice in the night very briefly to eat ... but otherwise, she slept until 5:30/6 a.m. Since we were up, we enjoyed being with big brother & sister before they had to go off to school. You'd never know my kids are NOT morning people. Or maybe they are, and I'm just in denial.

It's been a beautiful, sunny, warm day here! We've enjoyed having the windows and even the front door wide open! I painted the front door, which is why it had to stay open until the paint was dry. My front door is red, so after a winter of facing the elements, it was looking pretty shabby. The sad thing is that having the front door wide open & letting the sun shine in really made my little entry way look very shabby too :( I guess a good scrubbing of that area is next!

Does the sunshine and warm air make you want to spring clean!!? I'm ready to tackle this house!! It helps to know that I am probably having company for Easter. Dan's parents are back from their Winter Hiatus in Texas and are anxious to meet their 17th grandchild! Dan's brother and his son may also be joining us. What fun to spend a holiday with family. Most of our marriage, we've lived very far away from our parents and siblings. We've been ok with that - but now we sure appreciate having his parents "close" (which is what we call the 120 mile distance between us).

Miriam has been a happy girl today - she sat outside in her car seat with the little cover shielding her from the sun, watching me paint. We had a brief trip to Walmart for painting supplies, and she's sat in her bouncy seat too - and now she's taking a nice nap. It's a good day to be 14 weeks old.
