Battle with squirrles

As our vegetable garden grows, Tevita has become very concerned about the squirrels snacking on our crops. I guess he doesn't really trust Shang's protective skills so he decided to set up camp to keep an eye on things. Out came the tent with a few blankets and pillows. I managed to remain outside until about 1:00 in the morning, when Shang and I decided to head inside to the comfort of the bed. I guess it's working though because the garden is growing beautifully. We ate our first fresh salad for the season with dinner last night!





Here is just a cute picture from when I was watching my niece and nephew last weekend. Talk about angels...



I hate to feed into the stereotypical pregnant woman, but as hormones pump through my body, I have lost control. As I watch sappy movies, hear of all the flood victims in Iowa, or hear of my political informant Tim Russert's passing, tears well up in my eyes. Okay that's probably putting it lightly. Tevita has caught me uncontrollably sobbing on several occasions. Now I had heard of people being emotional when pregnant, but I though "oh come on, that's not real". I now surrender. Surrender that my body is now a vessel and I am no longer flying the ship.
