The One With All the Big News

Oh! I'm such a delinquent blogger that no one is even going to read this exciting entry! So many things keep happening in our extended lives that I can't even keep up. Here we sit, happily, quietly, normally in our little Virginia home, while the rest of the family (my family, anyway) has nary a moment between momentous occasions!

To sum it up, the family is growing. Jason and I may have our little family of herb babies and pansies, but pretty soon we will also have a niece or nephew to spoil rotten, as well as a new sister-in-law to love and adore (except that we already love and adore her). Shaanti and Adam have decided to make us Uncle and Auntie sometime around the end of September, and I am ecstatic, having already purchased the first of what I'm sure will be many, many adorable baby outfits (left). Hee, hee!

And only a few weeks ago Casey, with teeth chattering and knees knocking, made his girlfriend Kim's day by proposing on a freezing beach in Oregon (he said it may have been much more secluded than Jason's crowded Waikiki proposal, but that was only because they nearly got frostbite and most people wisely stayed inside). Am so excited, as believe Kim to be a fabulous human being and I'm glad that we can officiall call her sister soon. They are getting married in July. Many trips to Idaho in our near future!

As for us, we just had a delightful Saturday morning breakfast pondering the growth of the herb babies (rosemary sprouted overnight) and drinking tea in pjs on our balcony. It was almost 70 degrees at 7 this morning, and while that bodes very poorly for prospects of a bearable summer in DC, it is delightful for the first day of April.

Oh, and really, this is all true, no April Fool's.
