Good morning and SURPRISE! Guess who's back online? Today's post - and hopefully many future, (fairly) regular posts to come - has been brought to you by Dell comprudahs, Epson printer/scanners, Fuji Finepix, Alltel DSL and my sweet beau who used his graduation $, birthday $ & wiles to hook all of this up. :) THANK YOU, X!

I have LOTS of good news to share, but this mornings' pre-work (even pre-bath & coffee) post will be a short and simple one. I am posting this as an illustration for Seamus, but I don't think anyone will complain. Seamus is a new dad, and I was telling him how much I love those little downy baby-heads, and of course I had to share tales of my little local cadre of babies, my 2 year olds - Aeryn, Ariana & Elsa (with little bitty Izzy coming up behind - she's about 9 months now, and I don't have pics - yet!). Yes, Ally, I was telling him how funny it is to watch parents get to the point where they can leave their little ones with a sitter and that I would laugh at him and Harv-mama when the time comes. I feel extra privileged at being one of the trusted sitters, (Andi even let me keep Aeryn (Duckie) when she was little little!)
So what better way to use all this nice new equipment than to shamelessly auntie-brag? Here are my girls and their little downie heads: Aeryn in her Xmas pic, Elsa-Bug in pink and Sprout i n blue downtown shadow...
oh, how blessed I am!
more blog later, and
much love,
