"What a long, strange trip it's been"

"Don't take my picture!" 

The Bubble Hippo in the Joad's backyard. I think that this shot could be any time period, is the funny thing. 

My son, now become a maniac bubble blower. 

I am having the worst blogger issues these past few days: won't upload a picture, won't take my username...sorry for the delay. I simply "published" the last post because I feel as though I've snuck in to the site somehow. Still can't seem to get any pictures up there. Might be an issue here. I'm trying. I will keep trying tonight. I have a lot of really cute pictures of the party!! 

We're just trying to adjust to both the spring time change as well as the travel time change. Buck is currently napping and it's just about 5 pm here. Poor RKZ isn't any better and he has to wake up really early for work. Thank goodness I'm able to sleep in until I hear Buck. I have decided that the worst torture ever for me would be to limit my sleep. This is also known as having a newborn in the house (this is not an announcement - just an observation). 

Well - I did get some pictures to upload! It's a bubble miracle!!
