Well, life is slowly getting back to normal. Matthew and Thomas are both in school this morning and the baby is taking a nap.
I sat down to the computer to type but was drawn into a news bulletin about Terri Shiavo. I watched video of her looking out the window and her mother coming in and Terri's face beaming. I don't mean to get too deep into political matters, but it really bothers me that so many human rights activists are completely up in arms about terrorists at Abu Ghraib having underwear put on their head but will stand by silently and watch an innocent disabled American slowly starve to death. But I digress...
Sunday was as beautiful day. Our little town had a gardeners gathering at the local arboretum. There were bagpipers there which happen to be Matthew's favorite instrument. He went up to one of the players and started doing a scottish jig! I bought several plants from local gardeners.
Sunday night, we had a picnic at the playground of the development where we just bought a lot. Several of our friends from our life group were there as well. It was fun letting our gagillion children run free so we could all visit!
Side note to our Nashville bloggers. Matthew asked if we could buy a lot in Nashville instead b/c that is where all of the best guitar players live!
We got our final plans back from the "plan guy" this morning. I am very excited about them. We still don't know when we will build... a few months, a year from now. It is all so overwhelming but very exciting.
Our Baylor Lady Bears won their second game of the NCAA tournament. On to the sweet sixteen. Last year, during the sweet sixteen game, a controversial call was made in the last 0.2 second of the game against Tennessee. Had it not been for this call, they would have played in overtime and could have won the game. That call has been talked about over and over during this tournament. I hope it doesn't spook the girls this week.
Happy Tuesday to everyone.
Had a thought.

I agree with TL - I really wish that the media would emphasize the rest of us being proactive as well.
As for the rest of your post, Elizabeth, sounds like you guys are lots of fun, exciting things in your near future. I helped my parents plan most of the things for their house (which they actually ended up not building), and it was a lot of fun to pick out new things.
I love Springtime! I almost wish it was the predominant season around here.
That Matthew cracks me up, a little Barnhill who likes breast and bagpipes.....
You gotta love a man who knows what he wants in life!
