it's the little things

Last week, we had some unseasonably warm weather in D.C. Of course, yesterday, we had ice and snow, but that brief burst of spring reminded me that it won't be long before it stays lighter in the evening and ballet flats will replace the knock-off Uggs.

Lately, I've been appreciating all kinds of little things. It's been hard to get anything big accomplished on the house with the semester having starting (though we did make some significant progress on the living room and guest room - for pictures, see here). And, though we'd like to spend our days researching baby gears and shopping for baby, grading lab reports and papers, planning classes, and updating announcements on Blackboard have taken over our days and nights.

But, despite our preoccupation with all things undergraduate, there's been a slew of little things making us happy lately - an independent study lunch at The Tabbard Inn, Lil Omm yoga, a fabulous 90th birthday party in Pennsylvania, flutters and kicks, Pizza Movers, a first trip to Babies R Us with Nana Beeton, all things housewives, maternity jeans from Old Navy, Valentine's Day dinner at Mrs. K's Tollhouse, aromatherapy candles, a brand new Roku, Baby Bargains book, raincoats with treehoppers, bugaboo strollers, Sala Thai.

Keep sweeping, Martha
