April Showers

My thesis work is progressing as slowly as Spring in Maine. We are getting a lot of rain today and the snow is fast disappearing, so that is exciting. I am so jealous of Sarah talking about planting tomatoes already! I toiled last Fall to make new gardens in our yard and have been planning them all winter. I have canna bulbs and a lot of new seeds to start but I am hesitant with the crazy weather. At least it is a COZY Monday morning at home. Mamma working on her thesis and AnaSofia enjoying the woodstove Daddy installed for us this winter (isn't it great?!) from her little chair. She loves her little chair for gazing at the fire and the aquarium!

Easter Wednesday

Happy (late!) Easter everyone, even my cards are still sitting waiting to be mailed! It has been a very busy New Year for our family. Soren and I have a lot of exciting professional opportunities coming down the pipeline and it has kept us very occupied "hatching" ideas and planning for the future. I think it is important to remember the past is gone, the future does not exist and all we have is now. Or something like that! In any case, we spent Easter in Portland with friends which was wonderful. They live in a fun neighborhood where we walk a block to the deli to eat homemade sandwiches and the woman behind the counter remembers and loves AnaSofia. Such a great vibe. AnaSofia loves adventure, a change of scenery and people so she had a blast. We are now bracing for ANOTHER snowstorm. It is terrible because the robins have returned and there are no grassy areas for them to hunt for worms. Something really needs to change with the weather, it is effecting all the creatures around us - I wish everyone could see that!
