Babies!

It's still winter. And very cold. Martin was calculating today that the bay has been frozen a month earlier than last year. I keep saying that I just hope it thaws sooner too.

We bought bookshelves for the study. We bought a new computer. It's pink. I'll talk more about the reason for this in a few months. I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch type of thing.

We've planned a spring break trip to Florida in April. I'm very excited about this. It's literally been years since I've been to florida. I think I was probably 15 or 16 the last time I was there. Our neighbors' grandfather owns a small condo type thing right on the beach in Venice. Apparantly, you open the back door and are on the beach. I can live with that for a week. April in Michigan is still pretty chilly. And I'm guessing April in Florida will be quite warm. So it's a no brainer really. Just getting the time off will be the most challenging part of the whole thing.

Five babies have been born since December 12th. That's been fun. Four of them are the first children of the families so it's extra fun to see people change and adjust to new family members. Babies are amazing. As I hold them, I just stare at them in wonder. Tiny human beings with a blank canvas. It's pretty exciting. I'm including photos of all the new little ones.
