Some of you may have seen these pics last spring. I was going to go out again today and play with little friends in the garden.. but the yard is so full of broken branches and twigs that instead I worked in the yard picking up sticks! (NO FUN!!) 
besides these were such cute pics why do it all over again. except that I have several new friends that could have played too I guess. 
So I picked up most of the front yard sticks and branches.. well, maybe half and by the time I was had done that my hips and butt were killing me! SO out of shape! so I quit for now.. ...
Im sort of inclined to hire some kids to pick up all those branches and twigs.... there are soo many from thursdays wind storm.
I hate doing that kind of work.. when I told my hubby that I was thinking of hiring someone.. he said, "hell, just pay him!" yeah, right, how silly would that be?! 
I finished my recipe book ! Its so cute. Im not sure how to show it all to you with out posting a pic of each page.. Maybe I'll check out how to post one of those little slide show thingies. Where do you find those anyways?
Making cheese Raviolis for dinner.. Roberts fiance, girlfriend asked for them. speaking of roberts fiance.. You know that they got engaged a few weeks ago right? Well they had another surprise for me this past week. They came to work to tell me that they are expecting.
Shes concerned that people are going to thing thats why they want to get married, but they got engaged before she found out she was pregnant. Oh geez.. what ever.. who cares.. I cant get caught up in what other people might think.. it is what it is.. and I'm getting a daughter in law and another grandbaby.. maybe this one will be a girl. She is only 5 or 6 weeks along... so it is early. Just sending up my prayers for her good health and a healthy baby. They are very excited. Thats what matters right? I have some other concerns.. but I'm leaving everything in Gods hands and so are they! this I know is the right thing to do.
Torry pie's getting a cousin!

Congratulations on all your FABULOUS news! So many exciting changes happening in your family. I'm so glad your shared your photoshoot again. I didn't know you or your lovely blog last spring and these are just darling pics.
You DO have quite the bundle of sticks in your yard. I wonder if there's any crafting project you can do with those? hee hee.
VIV & Family --Congratulations !!!
Like my two grands , they will be such sweet cousins together.
I so love your spring parade !!! post it each year --It is so cute and always makes me smile -- As for sticks --Hmm several yrs ago used small sticks for VBS --glued them to a cardboard piece to frame it --added moss and a few leaves -to make a sign -- we have 8 1/2 acres and a dozen trees down from the last storm -- The town next to us suffered a good bit of damage in this storm--SO feel blessed --
Praying for your family --babies are the best !!!
Congrats on the great news. You're right, don't worry about what others think. Today was my daughter-in-law's baby shower. It was so fun. I CAN NOT WAIT for the baby! After seeing how much joy you get from your Torry-pie, I can get an idea of what having a grand baby is like.
I so love your blog and seeing you creations and your family.
Happy May Day to You!
It's COLD here and doesn't feel like spring at all! It snowed..lightly...
I see a pretty new blog look!
Congrat's on all the NEWS!
Warmly,
deb
Congratulations! It will be so fun at your house with all the pitter patter of little feet running around!

First of all congratulations.
A new baby is always so exciting. Look at all the movie stars that have several kids and aren't married.
Not a big deal these days.
Torrie Pie will have fun with another little one.
I am right there with you about the sticks. I hate having to stress over the yard cleanup. I said something to my husband about hiring someone. I think he laughed. He isn't recooping well since his knee surgery and I can't do much. I hate it looking like it does. Oh well, it is what it is. Good luck.
Looks like you did plenty of branch picking-up. My back hurts for you already. (Actually, it does! ).hehe
It's how we handle things- God bless & keep all safe and healthy.

ps- actually thought that that was the news. Life goes on!
Happy May Day, you cutie! And booooooo, hissssss to picking up sticks! I'd hire someone, too! As for Robert & his sweetheart - that's AWESOME news! Congratulations! I'll keep my fingers crossed for a granddaughter this time around! LOVE YOU!
Congrats Gramie! Who gives a rip what anyone might waste their time thinking!? Just sending happy wishes to your new young family. I for one would be so thrilled and blessed!
Congratulations!!! And you're absolutely right...who cares what anyone else thinks! Babies are a blessing!
Wow that IS a lot of twigs and branches!
Hard and wonderful at the same time. Ahh, this life!

And yes, I feel the same way about leaves as you do about sticks. I rant and complain to myself about them every time I clean up the yard, but I never hire anyone to do it for me.
Yippee for a another wee one! Congrats Sweetie!
