As usual, I'm behind. I ask myself and Dave on a regular basis how everyone else seems to be organized and always caught up. We've started the house hunting process and it seems to consume most of our time. Maybe we're over-analyzing each house we look at and maybe I'm expecting too much that the perfect house will appear before our eyes. Or maybe it's just because I'm in that "nesting phase" that I swore I'd never go through but Dave has brought it to my attention that I'm definitely there.

The "little guy's" current place of residence. Lately he's been quite active. At our doctor appointment on Thursday, she could barely catch him long enough to get his heartbeat for a second and then he'd move. She finally said that with how much he's moving she's not worried about him at all. We can now see my stomach move when he moves and Dave definitely hasn't had a problem feeling him move with how active he's been.
Back in February, Charleston had it's first snowfall in years. It was pretty unbelievable considering we thought we had left that weather behind for the sun and palm trees in the south. Mother Nature definitely had other ideas. Our friend Gemini was over that night cooking Indian. We stopped to take a picture during the history making moment. Where we lived, about 3 inches fell, further inland had even more. Unbelievable!!


That same night, February 12th my sister Sarah's son was born - Joshua Robert. What a beautiful boy! He's the spitting image of his father! Unbelievably, he was born on my sister Maria's birthday.

We finally started to get some fabulous weather and last weekend I capitalized on it! We went to a greenhouse and picked out some flowers for the patio. I thoroughly enjoyed my Sunday morning cleaning up from the winter and getting ready for spring!! Dave enjoyed being a photographer and got some great shots of the blooms on our tree and the new flowers as well as a guest that's taken up residence...as long as it stays on the patio it's welcome...






Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week!!
Love,
Beth
