My Saturday opened with a relaxing morning of playing with Shea and talking with Tracy. We whittled away the morning working on Thank You cards and mail-in rebates for our new laptop computer. It may sound like a tedious task, working on these things, but Tracy and I fell into a pattern of talking over the top of these tasks, drinking coffee and taking turns entertaining Shea.
It's amazing how quickly her perceptions and aptitudes change in such a short amount of time. Shea is becoming more and more interactive every day and it is so much fun to coo back and forth with her and watch her mouth gape open in that toothless smile that is joy personified.
The day is sunny and warm, the trees are in full bloom. In the back yard there is a tree I'm not familiar with that is bursting with pink leaves and showing the partial vestige of spring. The walnut in the front yard is ornamented with large white blossoms with honey yellow centers that I have never seen before and discovered last night. The hazelnuts are filling out with leaves on the side of the house and we are grateful for they provide much needed shade from the afternoon summer sun. With thank yous and rebates completed, Tracy and I have absolutely nothing on the agenda until this evening where we will go celebrate my cousin's 30th birthday. We'll settle in with my family, enjoy their company and be on our way.
What a day to be alive!
