How can I argue with that?

Aren’t they beauties?
I’ll admit, I’ve lost quite a bit of my harvest (mostly peppers) because it’s been so unbearably hot and my pregnant body does not do well in the sweltering heat. I haven’t been pruning and picking and cultivating like I should be. But my tomato plants? They are resilient and they are making some yummy, yummy fruit.

We’ve set up a little corner of our bedroom for the arrival of Baby No. 2. Click here to see how we put the space together in a loving and very thrifty way.

I will be 20 weeks on Monday. So amazing. I am finally starting to feel better and have been eating again! Fruit, fruit, fruit. And occasionally rice with soy sauce. Lots of soy sauce.
My belly has really popped out quickly this time around. I guess they say it happens with second babies. Second baby! What? Who? Me? AH!
I love feeling the tiny bumps and flip flops in my tummy. When I take some time to do yoga in the afternoons, Baby always joins in. It’s our little special time during Poppy’s naps. Just me and Little Boots, doing yoga.
I can’t wait to meet you, Baby.

Today I made a salad with spinach and arugula from our backyard garden. So I really can grow something in a garden! My thumb is green, finally.
How delicious the spoils of hard work and uber-local ecology taste with some fresh mozzerlla and a vinegar dressing. Yum!

Our dear friends, The Team, helped Poppy to make this finger-painted print for Mother’s Day.
Each member of our family is represented by a bloom, including even the tiniest bloom growing on me.
Yes indeed. God is good to us.

Sometimes life has to be lived with your head down, pushing through. Not with writing and poetry and pictures. And that’s just that.
In the meantime, Spring is close!
[And yes! That is a clip in her hair! Finally.]

You mean the world to me and Daddy.
This year has been the best year of our lives.
You are our Rose.
Our Pearl.
The spin on our world.
Even the stars make their wishes on your eyes.
The way you grow so fast reminds me to stop everyday and be grateful.
When you learn something new, I am proud. When you fall and get hurt, I am sad. When you feel silly and giggle, I smile. When you are, I am too.
Happy First Birthday, Poppy!
