Flower Garden

I, with the help of Jenny, Alex, Daniel, my mom and a few ladies at a local nursery have planted a flower garden. Those of you who know me well know that this is a new thing for me, and I'm excited to see if it works. I've never been able to keep a house plant alive for more than two weeks, so maybe I'll have more luck with outside flowers.
Anyway, here are before and after photos. I'm probably going to get some wood chips or something to put in between the plants (at the suggestion of Lance), but that will have to wait until another day.

Time

My baby is one! I can hardly believe it. She walks, she talks a bit, and now she's not even a baby anymore. She is so big! I'm amazed at how much she can do!
I'm sad and glad. I'm glad she's still small size wise. And I love when she'll cuddle with me--it doesn't happen very often.
Alex turned 7! He's so big.
Daniel's almost 4 and Jenny's almost 9. Wow, time sure flies!

Conversation

Today Daniel says,
"Mom, this towel fell in the toilet, but I got it out."
Me: "you mean the sink?"
Daniel: "no, the toilet."
So I put it in the laundry. The sad thing is that it didn't even phase me. I'm just glad he told me before I used it!
