Signs of Spring

A new neighbor built her house in our backyard this spring. We noticed the nest a few days ago and had a long talk with Taylor about not disturbing the momma bird and her babies.




Well today I noticed that she was in the nest and look what we found a little while later.




Taylor has had a fun-filled birthday week. Clayton came today for a playdate. Of course the new sandbox kept them occupied the majority of the afternoon.



Kelsey also came for a visit today, which was an extra special treat since we have only had 2 visits with Kelsey the WHOLE winter. Kelsey is very special to Taylor and has been missed dearly. Kelsey is Conner's sister (many of you know that Conner had a bone marrow transplant last year) so we have had to be very careful about germs when we visit any member of the Smith family and since our family couldn't manage to stay healthy during this past winter we have seen very little of them.





Taylor doesn't know it, but Kelsey is coming back over tomorrow night (after Taylor is in bed) to help me finish decorating the cake and preparing for the princess party on Saturday. I'm sure Kelsey will help give everything the perfect touch for our little princess. Thanks for all of your help Kelsey - you're the best!


Okay, I need to get myself to bed. Lots more to do tomorrow for the party and Ellie is coming to spend the day with us. Never a dull moment. :)


On a side note, please keep my Aunt Linda in your prayers. She is battling cancer right now and is back in the hospital due to some complications. We also want to wish Karen a very happy birthday tomorrow - 29 right?!


More later...

This princess enjoyed her birthday very much, thank you. :-) Hope the other princess has a grand time on Saturday. And prayers go out to your Aunt Linda - hope she's out of the hospital shortly.
