One (top) tooth wonder

No commentary, just some really cute pictures of our almost-one-year old.

Growing up so fast...

New Life

I am pregnant!

JUST KIDDING!  I was going to write this post on April Fool's Day but never got around to it.  I figured I'd go ahead and pull my prank anyway.

So, no, I am not pregnant but, yes, there is new life at our house.  We have planted a garden.  Well, really a half a garden at this point, but given that we have two young children to take care of, I'm pretty impressed that we even managed half a garden.

Before we could plant a garden, we had to build one.  Rhys was an excellent helper:

As for the actual planting, we got both kids involved:

Lorelei was in charge of the box of seed packets.

Rhys helped with the actual planting and...

...helped write the identifier stakes.

 The planting itself was a little anti-climatic for Rhys given that nothing happened, but he wasn't too disappointed.  We've got our first pea shoots now and he psyched!

We're In!

Rhys was accepted into our first-choice preschool.  Yeah!  It's a Montessori philosophy school and is less than 1/2 mile from our house.  We think it's going to be great for him.  He'll start with their summer camp program in July, attending each day from 1 to 4, and then will start the school year in September, also attending each day from 1 to 4.

The timing, of course, means no more naps for Rhys which is a little hard for me, the sleep sergeant, to take.  But I think he's ready as we often have days now where his "nap" is 45 minutes of him asking "is it time to get up now?" every 5 minutes.
