Hi again...

Hi out there. Thanks for re-visiting or visiting for the first time. It feels like spring, doesn't it? There is a brand new birds' nest outside of our house... and waking up to the sounds of birds chirping is really cool. Beats the alarm clock, every time. Fof3 needs to be mindful of that nest from now on... every holiday sees the tree that the new nest s in all done up in colorful lights. I get up on a ladder and do and undo it several times a year... red and white for Valentine's Day...green and white for St. Patrick's Day, red, white and blue for... well, you get the idea by now. I don't want to disturb that nest...gotta find a better place to rest the ladder. Spring... yeah..it's here... crocuses... (is that how you spell those pretty little flowers? Anyhoooo... tulips are growing but not great... need some help on those. Another sign of spring... the lawnmowers. Want to make a fortune?...invent a quiet lawn mower. I'll buy one for every one of my neighbors. What else..let's think... (hmmm, birds, lawnmowers, crocuses....little league.) LITTLE LEAGUE!!!... yeah!!
-Noelle's first ever practice. Noelle, you were great. You and that pink glove the Easter Bunny gave you were the bomb! You have such nice kids on your team, too. I had fun helping Coach Finneran out yesterday. Good job, honey.
-Caitlin's first practice of the season was also lots of fun. You did great too, Greatlin! We concentrated only on fielding yesterday and all of the girls did a great job. Saturday we will all practice hitting, and Coach St. John wants Caitlin to pitch for her team. You'll be a fantastic pitcher, I know it.
-Hockey practice tomorrow for my buddy boy. I hope it doesn't rain like the forecasters are predicting. (But on the bright side, the tulips need it.) (Does anyone think Liam gives a bug's butt about those tulips?!?)
-Mof3 was out there with us at practice... you need a pink glove, too, honey. (You look better than ever on the field, you know.)

-American Idol made Caitlin kinda sad last night. She always gets down on Wednesday nights, as she hates to see anyone eliminated. But she really liked Jessica and was especially sorry to see her go. (Then Caitlin informed me that her faves on America's Top Model and The Starlet were also eliminated... Caitlin too much reality tv... too much tv period. But I really can't speak on that subject, as I don't lead by example. (What can I say, I love it!)

-Hey, we had an accidental run-in with the kids' Aunt Roseanna yesterday.. she was getting off the train as we were going to a post-little-league-practice dinner at our (used to be) favorite neighborhood restaurant. That was fun, SILof3. Nice to see you again. (This makes it like 14 straight days of seeing you.) <---That's a good thing. You're lucky you didn't join us... it was not so great. (Mof3 and Fof3 think there was some internal fighting or crisis going on between the wait staff, the kitchen people and the manager.) Maybe last night was a full moon. Liam enjoyed his chicken and french fries, though...nothing can ruin that. (Dude...are you EVER gonna get sick of that same thing?!?)

-Fof3 needs to hear from you folks, out there... you know who you are. We have a new friend..Mother of 2... welcome, Mof2. How about cuz Trish? Jeff? Todd? Susan? Jamie? Hi Janna... you're welcome here anytime. Jeanine, pull yourself away form that silly thing you do called "working" (what is this thing, "working"?) and say hi.

-Ralph, our cat... doing fine. I'll post a pic of him soon. I met another celebrity yesterday at the train station... that makes two... First it was ... uh oh... him again. G2G.
