A few random photos
I must have been inspired by my sister's recent post, and finally downloaded the photos which have been sitting in my camera since early October. Here are a few...

Bouncer
Zofia found a tiny worm on the floor in the house. She escorted it outside and while she was finding a place to put it I overheard her telling it, "My house is not your home."

Update
Ok, I know I have neglected this blog throughout my sister's visit here, and have no excuse. Happily, she posted regularly, so there are plenty of posts to read about our trip to San Diego and Maggi's visit here with the twins over at My Sister's Blog. Meanwhile, just a quick update on us...
I'm still only about 8 weeks pregnant. It seems ridiculous to know this early, it really makes the pregnancy seem to last so much longer. I guess this is how I do it, though, since I knew really early both other times too. I sort of can't fathom the women who don't know until they are 3, 4 or more months along.
I feel good (meaning nauseous and tired all day long) and my pants are already getting tight. I found a box of maternity clothing in the back of the closed, but alas it's all summer stuff and the weather here is mostly in the low 60s. I remember that my mom brought back the clothes I lent to Maggi about a year ago, so hopefully she will be able to find them at her house. Otherwise, poor me, I'll just have to go shopping! ;-)
We are very excited about our upcoming trip to LA for Isaac & Lizz's wedding, and are planning on staying an extra day to take the girls to Disneyland. Should be exhausting and fun. I also just go the idea into my head that I'd like to take a mini-vacation with just Roger sometime during the 2nd trimester (I've never been to New York?), but I'm not sure we will be able to figure out the logistics.
Anyhow, that's it for now and I'll leave you with a bit of conversation I overheard earlier today between my daughters...
Zofia: I love you!
Maggie: I love you too!
Hee hee!!!

New Religion
Roger just walked into the girls' room and found them both under a comforter on the floor...
Roger: Where are the girls?!
Maggie: Here I am Daddy. I'm God!
R: You're God?!
M: Yeah, and this is heaven.
Zofia: Come die with us, Daddy! We're dead and this is heaven!
BTW - I just found out that the cause of death was being eaten by a lion. Apparently, at first he didn't eat their heads, but then he did.

Decisive
Me: Maggie, what do you want to eat?
M: I haven't decided.
Me: Well, you need to decide.
M: I was already deciding until you disturbed me!
M: I haven't decided.

Definitions
Zofia: Mommy, a woman and a lady are not the same thing.
Me: Really, Zofia? What is the difference between a woman and a lady?
Zofia: A woman is a fat lady and a lady is a skinny lady.

Patience
We were at a restaurant last week and ordered Maggie a lemonade. About a second after the waiter left, Maggie said, "Where is my lemonade? I waited as hard as I could and I can't wait any longer!"

Springtime is here!
Hurrah! The girls and I planted our spring garden over spring break. We've got lots of different herbs, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, squash and beans. Here are some photos of the garden when we first planted it almost three weeks ago, and some taken this morning. We've been getting a nice bit of rain and it is so gratifying to see the plants thriving. We also planted a lemon tree and a Satsumo orange tree which already have some little fruit on them!

A video and a funny...
First the funny:
Me: How did I get so lucky to have two such wonderful girls for my daughters?
Maggie: Because we're just kids and we can't leave.
God love 'er!
