Around Valentine's Day, I put up a picture of my beanie baby duck and said that she was lonely. My nine-year-old triplets cousins (2 girls, 1 boy) saw the picture when I visited them over spring break and they thought the ducky really looked lonely. A couple hours later, Stephen came up to me with his hands behind his back and said: "Here Heather, now your ducky won't be lonely anymore." And he pulled out a penguin beanie baby and gave it to me! So, because of my little cousin's sensitive, sweet heart, my little duck isn't lonely anymore. It was too cute, and they all made me promise I'd take a picture of Gracie (the lonely duck's real name) and Waddle (the penguin). I set Waddle and Gracie up in my own personal studio and took a few shots. Here is the winner:

Spring break....interesting although I'm not so sure about it being "fun" over all. But thats ok. Life isn't all about having fun. The high-light was SKIING although I'm amazed I didn't kill myself because I was trying black diamond slopes by the end of the day. I hadn't skiied in about 12 yrs though, and the next day i was sooo sore that I could barely walk/sit down/sit up! No kidding around here, this is the honest truth! Other than that, I got to see two sets of aunts, uncles, and cousins, and visit my roomie's hometown (Allentown). That was neat to see where she grew up and meet her friends and family. :) Now its back to school again. Time flies by so quickly, it slips through my fingers like sand. Hopefully I will rise to the occasion, seize the moments and make the best of the rest of this semester.
