We had some good friends over for lunch today. I made some potato soup and homemade bread. They stayed for a couple of hours which in my opinion is the best kind of visit. I don't enjoy the "eat and run" kind of company. I enjoyed catching up with them and watching a movie. They have a little girl who just turned 1. She is very cute and very well behaved. I'm not just saying this because they will see this later on tonight. :)
We are off to a warehouse sized used bookstore. I have a list of books I hope to find, but hopefully I'll find some treasures that aren't on my list too.

Happy Birthday to me
My dear friend, Elizabeth sent me a birthday present. How did she know I have been wanting some lilypad Monet fabric?! I plan on making a patchwork apron out of it. Thank you Elizabeth, for the fabric and quilt templates! I'll let you know how it turns out.

As you can see from the birthday photos Grace had a great day! Last night Nana and Papa came over to celebrate. We had chicken enchiladas, spanish rice, salad and of course, leftover cake and icecream!
One of Grace's gifts of a counted cross-stitch. I have never tried it so it took an hour for me to get all the colors sorted and instructions read. Grace has 10 little x's completed. 10, 794 more to go. ;0)
I am still feeling a little under the weather so we didn't go to the park with our playgroup today. I was feeling better this afternoon so we went grocery shopping. We also went to Home Depot to pick up some paint samples. I'm going to paint the entryway and our bedroom this coming week. Oh, and Benjamin's room. I really don't like painting, but it will look great when it is all finished.

Today is the day before Grace's 8th birthday. I went into labor very late on the evening of the 30th but was glad she was born on the first of February, so we could share the same birthstone. :0)
I'm trying to figure out what to do today. I *might* be coming down with something. I started popping my vitamins, drinking water and resting. I think I'll be ok, but I am going to change my big grocery shopping plans. I have a piano lesson tonight and then I'll run to the store to pick up a few things for the birthday girl tomorrow.
I have been hearing this creaking noise at night lately (ok, for the past couple of months), something like a frog croaking. I thought it was coming from my watergarden but it is on the other side of my bedroom wall. I heard it again while making my bed this morning and went outside to investigate. I'm not sure whether I should feel disappointed or like a idiot. It was some tree branches scraping against our eaves on the front of our house. The sound travels back to our bedroom window. Sigh.
