...and after a 12-hour constant stretch of sleep (thanks, Scott!) I am feeling better, too! My bronchitis evolved into a head cold (my third in as many weeks) but today I'm mostly clear and feeling rested. The kids *seem* to be on the mend, too.

Scott leaves tomorrow for three days in Toronto. We don't have any major plans, but will probably hit our playgroups and maybe even the Children's Museum. It's supposed to be a gorgeous week (temps in the 70's!) so we'll get lots of outdoor time, too. We're ready.

The birds are enjoying the creek in back of our house, and like most years, wake us every morning at 6am. I don't mind...now. Before kids, I found myself irritated, but now I like it. The birds nest in all the bushes around our house, and some even in my hanging plants (not yet hung.) A couple years ago, Scott built a nesting house for them, too, and now we've got all kinds of fat birds hanging around our feeder. The robins are loving our elm in the back, and I bet in a month or two we'll have lots more little birds flying around. We've seen Orioles, Cardinals, Jays, and lots of different colored Finch. One of the things I love about this house.

We had our 38th showing yesterday - to an agent interested in our house. She lives in Freeland, and doesn't currently have any active listings herself, so we're wondering what that's all about. We're sending out positive thoughts that maybe she loved it and will be making an offer. I'll shout it from the rooftops when it happens, trust me.

That's all the news from here...for now...
