tulips!

yesterday lizzie and i planted some tulips that she had bought. they started to bloom after sitting on our front steps for about a week. it seems like its getting warmer again. up to 70 (F) today. we got the trowel and shovel out and dug up a couple patches on either side of the walkway to our front door. we had a good crew helping us (two little boys, 6 and 4, who live next door and are quite helpful--no union smoke breaks or anything!)

so, we're quite domestic these days. and desperately trying to remain patient. today was our original induction date (pushed back), but we have a non-stress test and midwife appt this afternoon. hurry up, boy!

we've been making baby-boy preparations. the car seat is finally installed, the hospital bag is (almost) packed, the kittens have had this whole baby thing explained to them numerous times, and we have plenty of cookie dough frozen in anticipation of a horde of sweet-toothed grandparents.

in other news, filipino inmates are really good dancers.
