And pretty babes all in a row
According to the gardening gurus it’s time to plant potatoes, but all I’m doing is eating a whole lot of doughnuts. Ahhh, the anti-healthy all-terrible non-nutritional terrific-tasting doughnut. Nothing takes the sting out of stress like a deep friend treat dipped in chocolate. And I’ve been a bit stressed lately, what with my eight year-old almost losing an eye and my newborn nephew pulling an extended stint in the hospital. So yes, I’ve been eating some doughnuts.
I did have bigger plans. Plans of planting potatoes and nurturing newborns but then Kira caught the business end of a boomerang with her face and then it snowed, again, covering the garden and then there were stitches to be removed and airplanes to catch and a new nephew to be hovered over and so much for plans. You can see how there was really little time for anything other than a doughnut.
So here I am in Boston where it is springtime in spades. With everything so lush and bursting from the ground it’s impossible to believe that this gorgeous guy has to hang out and wait for his lungs to mature. I guess he spent his time in the womb working on his fancy hair-do.
Sure, plans of planting potatoes morphed into pacing in front of digital read-outs of oxygen levels, but that’s alright. I really don’t care. The numbers look terrific. And so does little Miles.
Anyways, plans are silly. Who needs them? The potatoes can wait. And so can I.
Especially when it comes to snuggly newborns.
And chocolate-covered doughnuts.

Oh goodness… he is adorable! I am glad he is alright now. I hope you enjoyed the donuts! Kira is okay as well? Hang in there friend!
Miles takes my breath away. What a gorgeous baby! I’m happy to hear you can extend your trip and stay there with your sister until your perfect little nephew can come home safely. You’re all in my thoughts.

He’s beautiful, Daphne!
Daph- he is just lovely. Had not heard that he is still in hospital. Hope he will be home soon.
Love to you all from Tanta Bettina
Congrats Auntie on your new nephew! He certainly LOOKs healthy with his cute little round face and big head of hair! Hope he comes home soon. Glad Kira’s alright, too! ut
Miles is adorable–but, I’ve been waiting to hear–is he still in the hospital? And are you in Boston? And what happened to Kira? OK–no more questions. But I hope Miles comes home soon and in good health. OK one more quest–do the girls still like bookmarks? I found a few in my top drawer. Are the girls with you? Please say hello for me to Miles.
Thinking of all of you, send Danielle my thoughts and prayers, is he still in the hospital?
Miles is adorable! Congratulations again Aunt Daphne! Hope everyone is doing well and please send my best to Danielle. Take care. XOXO
Miles is gorgeous — well done Danielle! I hope Dave and his mom had a great time without you this week 😉
I heard that it took even longer to get home because they had to stop and get Miles a haircut! So glad that everyone is home, and that you and Ma are there with them. xoxo
So glad kira is ok.
He is beautiful. Congrats to everyone!! xo
O-M-G…lookit all that hair! I LOVE it! He looks like he could be a member of my family (the hair family!) He’s precious…and so glad to hear that he is doing better. I was shocked when I read “it snowed”, but the shock faded when I looked at the pic. lol! Enjoy the doughnuts…life is short…Congrats on your nephew…and on surviving an “stitches to the eye” situation.
He is gorgeous!! I am so happy he is ok and Kira is still with eye. Those Spade kids really give the most scares!
What a great head of hair. He is beautiful. Your garden will make it in the end.
