Monday already. Amazing! And already another new month. New week, new month, new video (by Mat Kearney who is on tour with Rocco and crew and The Feeling -- I played a video of theirs last week. I'm a huge fan of Mat's now...excellent music!)...new episode of 24! (Apparently, this one has a "surprise" that "no one will see coming"...isn't that the definition of a surprise? Just thinking out loud here...)

It's Easter "Spring" Break at our house! Hooray! A whole week of cleaning, appointments, and other activities -- including show-n-tell at our homeschool learning group -- to help us relax and revamp before finishing up for the year. Still, Edward gets to bring some of our bunnies for show-n-tell this week. I think he's fairly excited.

Spring has definitely "sprung" here. The grass is greening up and bulbs are sprouting. The sun has been shining and the air is warming up a bit. Everyone seems to have Spring Fever...including our dog who came to us at 4:10 a.m. to let us know that we forgot to put him in his crate for the night. Figuring he needed to go outside to "use the facilities," Stuart got up to let him out.... He went crazy with energy. Talk about timing....

I've been reading articles about Kiefer Sutherland's new movie Mirrors, due to start filming in Romania this May. Wooo-weee! It sounds really good...but very creepy. I'm not one for horror movies, but I'll make an exception for this one. Afterall, it is a Kiefer movie.

5 THINGS TO BE HAPPY ABOUT
• newspapers delivered to the doorstep
• giving bear hugs
• memorizing a poem
• shepherd’s pie
• girls’ night out
There's something extra-special about bear hugs. We seem to have an over-abundance of them in our house...not that that's necessarily a bad thing.
Our two "little" people have a great affection for each other, and that in itself is a blessing. They enjoy playing together and reading together and even "Leapstering" together.
They are the best of friends...most of the time.
But we discovered this weekend that bear hugs and being "joined at the hip" may not always work in their favor.
It happened when Edward had a relapse of the bronchitis -- or some form of virus that Emily had had the weekend before, complete with fever, runny nose, and cough. We managed to avert a return trip to the emergency room (though that was a real possibility).
So, for the moment, he's back on the nebulizer....
He has a doctor's appointment tomorrow, and we're hoping the doctor can break the cycle. We really don't want to break up the bear hugs.
