Getting there :)

Ok, so I did offer a possible prize for any of my followers who guessed all the differences on my last post..only Melissa attempted this and never guessed them all. :(  I guess if I had wanted more answers I should have put giveaway in the title, but that's not my style! lol

After spending the day with my nieces, the youngest one seemed very happy!!

How cute, and what great teeth! no? When I got home I noticed the Lily we have in our kitchen was starting to open...



The weather has warmed up but the paths were like an ice rink still, but walking in to work this morning I took this pic....the start of a new day!


I hope you all had a great weekend, I am off to stalk! lol
