Owen's Tulip

When I was in the hospital trying to keep Owen inside my tummy for awhile longer, I got the most beautiful bouquet of tulips. Even after Owen was born there was one tulip that stayed nice and healthy. Jesse planted this tulip last spring after I was released from the hospital and while Owen continued to fight in the NICU. This spring the only flower to have bloomed so far is Owen's tulip. It came back stronger and healthier than ever. Below is a picture Jesse took of Owen and the tulip. We got the flowers from Jesse's Grandma Ruth and Grandpa Jim.



Jesse left yesterday for NYC. He is supposed to leave for Spain either today to tomorrow. I think he is going to Spain to pick up some people who have been stuck there because of the volcano eruption. It has been declared safe to fly out of Spain-- I guess there are loads of people needing a lift out of there. I asked Jesse, "Why wasn't it safe to fly out there in the first place?" His response to me was, "Volcanic ash can kill a jet engine. "Oh.", was my reply. I am really hoping all the volcanic ash has indeed cleared up! Jeepers.

Our house had two showings this weekend-- no bites. I am getting anxious to get back home. I want my mommy and daddy!
