I took this photo at a barn party Saturday night. Since Cinco de Mayo fell on a Sunday this year, why not celebrate Cuatro de Mayo instead?

This is part of an adorable housewarming gift we received recently. I can’t wait for it to warm up (for good!) so I can add this little guy to my garden.

Looking out my window today at work….
Me: God, is that SNOW?
God: Why yes, yes it is.
Me: But … WHY?
God: I work in mysterious ways.

It’s funny how babies will sleep through anything – even a mob of 2,500 people at a 5k run.

I’m thoroughly enjoying the bright sunny skies and warm temperatures. Yesterday I went for a run through several neighborhoods near my home, and I got to enjoy the scenery with everyone’s flowers and trees blossoming. (Side note: I’m not looking forward to temps plummeting into the 30s later this week.)

Kansas City is known for its vast number of fountains, second only to Rome. This fountain in the Quality Hill district is one of my favorites.

I love how these bright yellow tulips are just reaching for the sun!

In honor of my birthday today, would you please consider making a donation to the American Cancer Society Relay For Life? The Society is celebrating its 100th birthday next month, and it’s the official sponsor of birthdays, so the cause couldn’t be a better fit. I’m just a few hundred dollars away from my $1000 goal. Every amount helps!

The tulips are finally starting to bloom in Kansas City now that we’ve had a few spring-like days.

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, this past weekend we attended Purple Stride, a Pancreatic Cancer Action Network 5k. After seeing my twin cousins’ facial expressions in this photo from the event, I couldn’t help but share it. If you wrote your own caption, what would it say?
