Every tech-savvy girl should have a little piece of internet realestate to call her own. This is mine! This site was not created for much else beyond my own person use. However, now that you have found it, feel free to poke around.

Gardening (Planning for Spring)

So, it is that time of year where the seed companies are sending out their catalogs full of glossy photos of beautiful vegetables, flowers, and herbs. We got our first catalog of the season on Friday and Bry and I have been thumbing through it all weekend, oggling the colorful vegetables. This spring's planting will require a bit more thought since we will be moving in July/August due to my finishing grad school. So, we must plan for crops which we can harvest before that time. It seems like our main focus will be herbs, peas, and lettuce. We have already started on the lettuce front. One of our potted house plants wasn't doing so well, so it was composted and the soil in the pot amended. In the pot went a few red romaine seeds and a few spinach seeds. Now, if we can keep the cats from pawing at the dirt until the seeds germinate, we will have a loverly coffee table centerpiece planter of salad greens. Yum!

Emmalily Ovella Barnes

It's official! We are having a girl! Emmalily Ovella Barnes, nicknamed Vellie or Vel. Below are the photos from the June 1 ultrasound. Vellie is in the 40th percentile for size and looks healthy and well proportioned, despite her petiteness. If I can rip the DVD video of the ultrasound they gave us, I will post that, too.
