Not sure who will be reading this, but for those who might--- looks like there is an Indiana gathering in the planning stages for this summer, sometime during the last week of August. I know for sure that the Crane family will be in town from France, Licia, Miles, and I will be there, not sure who else, but it would be wonderful if we could get a bunch of friends together to spend some time.... Just something to think about!
xxooo

I haven't posted in months and feel neglectful, but alas, life goes on in a busy hum....

I've been planting trees, bushes and flowers which I've been waiting to do since we moved in two years ago-- makes me very happy to finally have more of a warm and inviting yard. However, the planting bug loosened it's grip a bit with the recent cold weather-- I want some warm weather to stick around then I'll be out digging in the dirt again with my little helper :).

We recently returned from a trip to visit my dad in CA and now Ty's parents are here visiting and leave tomorrow. They are the best grandparents one could hope for, so it's been a blessing having them.

Adin's candy "hunting" at the Zoo's Easter event was so cute to watch, and his search for his Easter basket on Easter morning made my heart melt. He's at that perfect age of innocence and wonder-- to him everything is fun and exciting!

Thank you guys for all the kind words-- I'm forever grateful for my wonderful friends :)!!
We just returned from a weekend trip with a bunch of friends to Sunriver, Oregon-- it was beautiful and the company was great, but unfortunately, Adin had a seriously high fever the entire time, so it was a bit stressful (thank heavens for Tylenol!). Nonetheless, it was nice to get away for a couple of days and spend some time out of the city...

Attempted to listen to some Uvula music for the first time in years today, but much to my dismay, Adin was adamant that I not indulge myself at that moment. So now I'm anxiously awaiting his bedtime, so that I might listen in peace and enjoy. Just hearing the initial sounds of Chris and Tina made me happy and wanting more :). Ahh, bedtime....
Reading Bill's post about Tom Petty amplifies my longing for warm, sunny weather-- I think I've got a bout of the wintertime blues this year after all this damn rain... Today Adin and I spent some time outside in the yard, braving the muck, since it actually stopped raining for the day (thank heavens). This is the first winter since I've lived in Portland that its had its normal rainfall (end of the drought) and now I know why people say it rains a lot here, damn! I know its good for the environment, people, fish, etc, but it's not good for my psyche... I also had the misfortune of having another miscarriage the week before Christmas, so needless to say that's surely contributing to my mood this winter. Feeling like my body is "failing" me is absolutely one of the most maddening experiencing I've ever encountered. I know that I'm lucky enough to have my beautiful, wonderful Adin and Ty in my life, but I so badly want to give Adin a sibling. I'm seeing my friend who's an acupuncturist for herbs and treatment which he thinks will help-- I'm crossing all my fingers and toes on this one... I realize if Adin is an only child it won't be the end of the world, but I don't even want to go down that road yet-- I'm still hoping for the alternative :).
The up side to not being pregnant though is that I still get to indulge in coffee and the occasional drink (or drinks in the right company :)), so if you're planning a trip to P-town anytime in the not too distant future (ahem, Bill & Amy) come now while I can still get my groove on so to speak (I cannot by the way get my groove on, nor can I believe that I just typed that, but I'm leaving it as a testimony to my dork status...). I would, however, love to see some old friends right about now :). It's nice now that Adin's older I can go out and not feel all freaky about being away from him and it only took two years ;)!
Anyway, I must go save Ty from being the only child wrangler, as I feel the cold beer and music hour is approaching quickly...
