Little League Opening Day

The first day of spring was Opening Day for Harrison's little league team.  This year they play "real baseball" with all the rules of the minor leagues, stealing bases, etc.  It's complicated but Harrison is getting right in and doing his best.  He had a great save at 3rd plate today and has a very natural swing at bat.  We can't wait to see him perform for the rest of the season.  And I'm loving him in his uniform too!

You do the math:

(Salty Carnitas + 2 mile walk in 80 degree weather) x 33 weeks pregnant =

Cankles.

Perspective

An image provided from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, shows a cosmic rosebud blossoming with new stars. The stars, called the Berkeley 59 cluster, are the blue dots to the right of the image center. They are ripening out of the dust cloud from which they formed, and at just a few million years old, are young on stellar time scales. Berkeley 59 is located in the constellation Cepheus at a distance of about 3,300 light-years from Earth.

[And I thought turning 30 years old next week was making me feel old--- I'm a youngster compared to the rest of the galazy!]

The BEST week of winter is the LAST week of winter!

And this is why:

My feet are still there right?

I had to take this picture in order to convince myself that I could, in fact, still see my toes.  Just barely- but if I lean over the front of my belly, I can see them! (Sorry about the poor picture quality- wasting time with my camera phone at work...:))

P.S. I'm 32 weeks along- so I have 8 more week for this baby belly to shoot out even more!

Some inspiration

This is one of those posts, where I haven't actually done anything yet, but I'm hoping that if I post about my goals, then I may actually be motivated enough to follow through. 
To finish up the decorating of the nursery, I've been searching the blogosphere for some inspiration and have these two cute little items that seem simple, cheap but incredibly adorable for my baby girl's room.  Check out the inspiration and then check back in the next few months to see if I followed through on my goals!
First, the butterfly collage or it can be done in a shadow box using pearl pins to hold the punches in place, rather than the foam dots used in this one.

Next, this was originally from Pottery Barn- a butterfly chandelier.  But I've seen home-made versions that are just as cute.  I have some ideas on how to take this and alter it a bit to make it a bit more colorful, and not gold.  We'll see how they turn out.

Too true not to share with y'all...
