These....


and these.....


make me happy right now.

If you could see my yard, well.... you'd know why. These flowers are about the only pretty thing happening around here and I have little/no motivation!

I keep hoping that someone (my neighbor? a perfect stranger?) will take pity on me and my big belly and just come salvage the once-beautiful-so-I've-been-told-by-a-not-so-willing-to-pull-weeds-neighbor flower beds!

The one flower bed in my front yard I AM planning on tackling - maybe tomorrow.... but the retaining wall in my back yard... just seems sooooo overwhelming to me... and I admit it, I'm not a gardener at heart. I love the beautiful product - the hard work, not so much! (:

I don't have a green thumb, and to be honest, I don't even know which ones are plants and which ones are weeds!!!! (embarrassing to say the least!)

anyway... I said all this to say that if anyone wants to throw me a baby-lets- all- get-together-and-make-Danielle's-yard-look pretty-shower I'M ALL IN! (: or if someone just wanted to come pull on my weeds one day when I'm not home - I WON"T MIND AT ALL!!

O and if you're wondering if I truly wrote and published this post at 1:15 am, the answer is YES... I simply could not fall asleep tonight. Tried for 2 hours and finally got up so that I could finish Shy, Hollie, and Natalee's "Life Story" books that I'm making for them for the adoption! And since I'm still not tired, I figured I'd actually write a blog post on the blog that's been sitting FOREVER with nothing new!

And if you're wondering what happened to the 3 "Barton-babies" that this blog is supposed to be about... they'll be back soon... as soon as I take my camera out and actually take some pictures!

Good night! (:

P.S. We head to Salem tomorrow (technically today) to sign adoption papers! woo hoo! so exciting! I'm counting down days till the 23rd!!

ooops!

I just realized that those "8 Month" pics I posted a few days ago weren't the 8 month pix.  They were more like one day shy of 7 month pictures... and THESE are the 8 month pictures! ha. o well... not much difference.  My editing was terrible in the 7 month pix - these are unedited, and probably for the best since it's not my strong suite! ha! (isn't this outfit from Nonnie ADORABLE!?) Love, love, love this one:    This is a typical face.  If he's not sucking in his lip, he's spitting and soaking his shirt with drool! (sorry so blurry - just had to remember this face!)
