Congratulations Beth!

One of my oldest and dearest friends Beth eloped about a month ago.  Well, it was a planned elopement.  So, I guess I will call it a "faux-lopement."   Good one huh?  Maybe I will start a slang trend.

Anyway, Beth and Joe had a relaxed wedding celebration this past weekend at a family member's farm. It had a carnival game theme (complete with pony rides and stuffed bears as prizes!).  It's not every day a horse comes into the room where you are having your wedding reception.  :)  The party fit Beth's personality to a T and I am so happy for her.  I wish I was in Belize with them right now!  For some reason they forgot to invite me...I'll have to ask about that when the honeymooners return.  Here are some photos:

 This is my friend Shruti.  I have known her since 1st grade!

 Since many of us weren't at the wedding, we did a cheesy photo reenactment session...

 Hurray for Beth and Joe!

We Have 3 Babies

The past 2 mornings, I have been rudely awakened by a shrill, squeaky, ear-splitting bird cry outside our window.  When I heard the sound this afternoon, I went to the bush on the side of our house to see what on earth this bird wanted.  I was expecting to see an adult bird fly away once I got there.  Instead, a tiny baby bird poked its head up and opened its mouth wide!

   Because I love animals, and am a little crazy when it comes to baby animals, I ran inside, alerted the media, gchatted Leck and told him "WE HAVE BABY BIRDS!".  I also grabbed my camera and took some pictures.  While I did so, the momma bird came back and screamed at me and dive bombed my head.  She also followed me as I walked back into the house and yelled.

The mother bird came up and got real mad.  So, I pretended to look at some flowers to fool her.  It didn't work...

Finger Food

We went to a birthday party for our friends' baby this weekend.  At first she was confused about having a cake in front of her.  Then, she got the idea.  Big time.

Before...

After!

Spring doesn't just bring new flowers!
