the countdown will begin soon

We will soon be getting ready for our grand european adventure! Two weeks away on vacation!

Until then, hubby is knee deep in work, our little ray of sunshine is knee deep in school, and I am knee deep in company. We have had non stop company for the past month and a half, with family here now. Just as this beloved members of our family take off on Monday, more family rolls into town at the beginning of the week, and friends at the end of the week. It is really great to see everyone.

Spring is springing here. We have had some warm weather, and bikes are out and everyone is coming out of their winter hibernation and cleaning up their yards, organizing the plantbeds and just enjoying being outside. We in the butler did it household are no exception. The front flower beds have been tidied, and we are hoping for some more sun so that the tulips will bloom. I am having a bit of a battle with the squirrels eating the tulip bulbs, but they are still some left behind, so some flowers will pop.

Now if I can just hurry the weeks along so that we can go on vacation .....
