Hooray! The Sun!

We enjoyed a sunshiney weekend, with temps in the 60's - spring fever has begun (with even a real fever and bad cold as of Sunday for Helen). :-(
The grass went dormant this year and is dry and yellow. Looking forward to green, soft grass to match warm, soft days. We went to Stone Mountain park and found a big area to run around with a ball and a sippy cup. Sippy cups aren't very fun to throw.
My goose. Eye teeth are wreaking havoc everywhere - mind, gums, and poor chin. And it's been soooo dry - weird for here. I've been smearing triple cream all over her cheeks and chin to no avail.
The weekend before last, I think - a little snow again, gone quickly. Album cover, b-side?

Am listening to Girlyman's song "Storms Were Mine" - now finally into it, Jane, and bought the actual CD. Have this one on repeat. Didn't even notice this song for the first couple months on your CD, probably because it's #10, and usually can't listen to many CDs past song #4! :-)

On another note - Judy and Joey will be coming for a visit next week and we are so looking forward to it! Hope the weather will hold out, and even if it doesn't, we will have so much fun together - can't wait to see you two!!!!

And wait, for those that read this far and are interested, here are my and Helen's favorite videos on www.sesamestreet.org (ok, mostly mine because they have more than just Elmo in them). "We" have created a "my street", which contain these and many others I've culled out:

-Outdoors with Jason Mraz
-Feist: 1 2 3 4

Won't bore you with the others - these are the "coolest" ones I have so far.

Feist: 1 2 3 4 is way cool. I will have to check out the others. My friend Jeff, (you and David met him in NYC in 2004(?), has an almost 2 year old and he says Sesame Street can be really entertaining for adults too. All the guest stars etc. :-) I'm glad you like the Girlyman CD. At first I thought it was too low and depressing, but it grew on me fast. Storms Were Mine is really good. I miss you! Hang in there with the eye teeth and work! I will write ya back very soon. Started to but had to start over. I love love love the coffee card. :-)

Helen is so tall in the first picture, she's turning into a kid for sure. The third picture in this group, the head shot of Helen, shows her many new teeth and also the tender bulge of that mean old eyetooth. Hope those eyeteeth come in soon. Love and support to mommy and daddy xoxooxoxxoxo Grandma

Maggie has been cutting her eye teeth as well and is very drooly! Ugh! But, once these are in we're done with teething for awhile. At least I think we are...
