Ramblings

• In honor of Earth Day (well not really, it just happened to fall within this time frame), the city of Minneapolis planted a new red maple tree by our curb. We requested it last fall after we heard that you could just call the city and ask for one. It might have been one of the highlights of my day when I pulled up at the house and saw it!
• Monte flew to North Dakota earlier this week and we dropped him off at the airport - so now each day Ani wakes up, the first words out of her mouth are "Daddy. Airplane."
• I've finished the Twilight series and am surprisingly kind of sad that the saga has ended. 4 thick books at about 700 pages each (or is that just because I get the LARGE print versions?) really got me immersed in the story.
• Ani is starting to potty train. She's gone #1 a few times at school, but hasn't gone for us at home... yet! That will be a joyous moment.
• Oh and she's already interested in driving.
