Secret Sweet Pea

The long weekend finally arrived, but it forgot to bring the warm weather! We were able to visit Kurt's cousin and fiance in Parry Sound but boy was it cold...brrr....Finally, on monday afternoon it was warm enough to do some gardening. I split my perennials and made a brand new garden beside the lovely tulips and daffodils that have been blooming. It was so wonderful to stick my hands right in the dirt and try my hand at making things grow. When winter lasts so long (6 months!) it seems like such a miracle to watch all the plants come back to life.



Speaking of seeds and growing, I have also been so excited to finally share the news of the little sweet pea growing inside me. Today I told my staff and students that I am expecting in November, it was so wonderful to share the happy secret that I have been carrying around with me for the past few months. Ever since I heard that little heart beat a few weeks ago and it all became "real" I have just been bursting to tell the world. My students are super excited, they all cheered and clapped, and quickly offered name suggestions (their own names mainly), followed by their gender predictions (a boy), and finally sly glances at my belly to see if they could see the baby growing there. Anyways, now my secret sweet pea is no longer secret!
