white haven.

ah, yes, white haven, PA.
a two day layover at paul's aunt and uncle's.
a place of restoration.

you see,
their home is so very lovely.
little curiousities, beautiful touches, antique charm.
the perfect guest room for napping
and possibly the softest carpet my feet have ever known
(think cotton candy).
and their gardens?
i believe they belong around a proper english castle
nestled deep in the countryside.
and while we were there we snacked on
fresh veggies and wild strawberries,
of course.
and, as for robin and don...
well nothing inside or outside their lovely home
could hold a candle
to their beautifully loving and hospitable souls.

it's a...

BOY, Oh BOY!!!





Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monsters gone,
He's on the run and your daddy's here,
Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It's getting better and better,
Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait,
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both,
Just have to be patient,
Yes it's a long way to go,
But in the meantime,

Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is just what happens to you,
While your busy making other plans,
Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy

-John Lennon

sunday was my first mother's day.
i can't even express how tremendous
my heart felt everytime someone simply reminded me.

i did get some very sweet cards
and a lovely hand knit pot holder.

BUT...
TOMORROW IS MY REAL GIFT.

TOMORROW WE WILL KNOW (hopefully) IF BABY B IS A BOY OR A GIRL!!!!
EEEEEEEK!!!!
