He has a nice Irish name Gerard Pasquale Esposito the third : ) after thirty long hours he arrived safely and we thank our dear Lord Jesus for the privilege of attending his birth and his safe arrival.

Would you look at that lip.


Mama feeling much improved.


Aunty Val thinks he so nice, she took off to spend the week with him.....Lucky!

Littlest Aunty, we all hogged him up. I cant find a picture of Aunty Paula with him. Sorry Paula next time : )

Uncle Gideon is quite impressed : )
Grandmas little spring peeper : )
First look at Mommy : )

The garden gnome the children gave me for Mothers day.
My little lady ( Bug ) : )
Allow me to introduce Mr. Wheel.

The lilacs are beautiful, but they hurt my nose.
It is raining petals of lilacs. The years we alot of snow are the years we have alot of lilacs.







I am going to feel better after diner tonight. Stewed chicken with fresh tomatoes and cilantro. Lots of onions and Im going to put white beans in right at the end. Yummy over white rice.

So tonight we will sleep with the snow once again. Its spring here. Last week the children wanted to put up the kidde pool. Well anyway...we like snow, mostly. We have been up to new and fun crafting. Sarahnina made the little elf hat on the baby. I made the mouse booties. Friends made the baby....haha with the Lords help. The dollie is for the babies older sister. She is fourteen months older. It was really lame of me not to give it to her first. She didnt mind a bit. She let me hold her and laughed with me over the silly mouse booties on the baby. She is such a doll herself. I will bring it to her sunday. If it doesnt snow. Which of course it probably will. The pink knitting is silk. I have always wanted to make something in silk. I thought about getting silk worms. Nevermind : ) Worms make that? The other elfie hat and shoes is for Mr. Gerard the Third, or as I have been calling him G3 . Come on boy, Grannies waiting. My first grandson should be here with the nicer weather. I have taken up spinning. It is very fun. Relaxing, as well as reflective. Spin, Spin, Spin, around, around, around, soothing. Spin away the winter troubles. There were plenty to spin away, too! Oh well, who can be sad with spring shoes like that. Dont they make you just want to dance in the garden? Soon, little flower shoes, soon.
