Day 119 of 365. Back to Raleigh this morning to help with the big kids while Dottie can hopefully get a little rest. I'm not sure how much rest she got, but we had fun in the backyard!

Day 118 of 365. Alas, I had to return to work on Friday to attend a district wide workshop that had been planned for a while. You don't realize how tiring it is to sit all day until you have to do it yourself. I enjoyed some time Friday evening sitting outside, just listening to the neighborhood sounds. These two big oak trees are in our front yard. Two different varieties, and one puts out leaves so much earlier than the other.

Day 117 of 365. Have I mentioned that I have fallen in love? I was lucky enough to sneak in a few extra snuggles today, and even more lucky to capture this tender moment between a mother and her newborn baby. Be still my heart.

Day 116 of 365. My gut instinct yesterday was correct. Please say hello to my new grandson, born April 26 at 6:51 a.m.

Day 115 of 365. It is Tuesday night. All day long I have had a unsettled feeling that I can't explain. It is not a feeling that something is wrong, just something is not quite right. The feeling was strong enough for me to go ahead and pack my suitcase in case we got a call from Dottie that Baby J was on his way. So, I listened to myself and packed my bag.

Day 114 of 365. It has rained and rained and rained, and then it has rained more. We always seem to go through this here in NC. We get drought like conditions, and then we make up for the deficit all at one time. In any event, I don't really need a weather forecast to tell me when it's damp outside. All I need is frizzy hair.
