Spring Time


Well, I've said it several times on here, but I'll say it again. I have the best husband. Not to mention ultra-creative. My birthday was Friday, and always falls right around the first day of Spring. I (well, Cliff) :) ordered me a swim suit for my birthday, and I told him that was plenty! Well, he gave me Spring for my birthday! Yes, Spring.

In the front of our apartment, we have a small "patio". It has a tiny gate around it, with a dirt perimeter. Well, Cliff broke up the dirt, planted flowers in the perimeter, hung a flower basket from the patio ceiling, gave me a cute little watering pot, and chair and stand to enjoy the flowers! I never considered such thing, because I didn't think it was possible, considering the available space. What a great surprise, and what a creative husband!! I LOVE it. Now Stone and I have a new place to read books every day! Cliff has always been so thoughtful, and I am so grateful to have him as my hubby. I feel so lucky. He also gave me some things for my guitar, which I love!

That night we went out to eat and then to the drive-in to see a double feature. We watched "Horton Hears a Who" and "Fools Gold". Great movies! It was SUCH a fun experience. Stone slept the whole time (not a peep!) and we had fun goodies in the car. Thank you, Cliff, for the amazing birthday! He takes care of me. :)


If you look closely, or zoom in on the pic above, you can see Stone's first tooth!







Then comes the Easter Bunny. Stone may be too young to understand the holidays, but we couldn't let Easter pass without a basket. Stone got fun books and food for Easter. Here are some pictures to enjoy.

In the picture above, Cliff thinks Stone looks just like my dad.



The basket is now empty, so naturally, it ends up in his mouth...

What a great birthday gift! What a creative thinker. Happy belated birthday by the way. Unfortunately for us, Justin will still be in Iraq for both of our birthdays this year. Hopefully next year! I wish you all the best
