Happiness is...
Themed parties.
Collecting food that coordinates, decorations, games... it makes the night seem like one fluid event. It connects us to their world, and really it takes us into a different place entirely. It's cute, fun, and just happy.

Whale Spouts
Happiness is...
Whale spouts. I mean, babies are cute to begin with! Put a little flailing ponytail on the top of their head and it's simply magical.
When I was younger I used to wear a whale spout. For years. It was my recipe for comfort. When my mom was out of town and my dad tried to take care of it I would wail with despair. Now, I'm past that. But my goddaughter sports the perfect little do! I love it.
Simple happiness.

the Bump in its glory
Happiness is...
Creative baby ideas! Today is a gender reveal party for a good friend. Here's what she's doing:
At her ultrasound on Thursday she had the doctor write down the baby's gender and seal it in an envelope. She is bringing that envelope to a bakery and asking them to bake the appropriate color into the insides of a frosted cake, that way she'll find out when we do as she cuts her cake! How did I never think of that?
She is the size of a naval orange. That's one more thing about babies that I am really fascinated by. I love comparing them to the sizes of produce, and I can't wait to hear what's next! I wonder if I'm more excited about this baby than she is... In any case, here we go!

Aug. 31st
Happiness is...
Getting a phone call from a deployed boyfriend. It almost felt like he wasn't overseas!
Yes, there IS an August 31st. Oops. Here's my update: I went to the mall, registered for baby stuff with a friend (which was VERY happy), ate a burrito, and hung out with people half the night. Did I get the homework done that I needed to? Not exactly. But it was every bit as therapeutic as I needed my evening to be. C'est la vie.

Baptism
Happiness is...
The joys of being a godmother. Today was the big day, and though I started off feeling scared and nervous, it was an amazing day. And now, congratulations to my dearest god-daughter Alejandra Soleil! I love you oodles :)
It was a short and very informal service, followed by a very scrumptious reception. And of course the whole family was truly beautiful. I couldn't have asked for more!

baby animals
Happiness is...
Baby animals. They're ALL so adorable!
We have an enclosed courtyard at the school I work at, and there is a family of ducks living inside of it (babies can't fly til 7 weeks). It provides basically an observation deck for the family interaction, and I'm enjoying it thoroughly! I only wish we could do a better job of taking care of them... for the time being, I will watch the action!
After all, this is the time... the end of spring and beginning of baby season. Kittens, puppies, goslings, ad now ducklings. Just wonderful.
