Spring is Here!!

Spring is here! Or almost, anyway... Several years a go a student gave my mom a hyacinth (at least that's what I think it is...) Mom planted it in the front yard and it died fairly quickly. We were sort of sad, since it was a pretty plant and we never thought we'd see it again. But the next year as spring rolled into Texas, we noticed a tiny hyacinth budding just where Mom had planted it the year before. Ever since, it has been the symbol of spring to me. I love to watch it appear and grow. (Especially since it is purple...)

Also, new in the world of Marilyn and Adam: Adam met my dad today. Dad took us to Joe's Crab Shack for a very yummy dinner and Adam got to meet Dad, Tracey, and Fallon. We had a lot of fun. Dad mentioned his knife collection.... but other than that was very nice. Adam had a good time. I wish I could have spent more time with Fallon though. I'm sure it's not very much fun just listening to the grown-ups talk about motorcycles and helicopters. She was a good sport though. For once, I arrived at the restaurant before my dad and snapped a picture of me and Adam. I thought it turned out well, so here it is for your enjoyment. Isn't he sooooo cute??!!
