Hello all of blog-world! The Constant Gardener Lives (if only just barely)! Due to many requests for me to keep my blog updated, here I am. I feel wanted. Even if most of those requests did come from my mom.

Perhaps the biggest update is that the garden has grown and we now have three kiddos! We chose not to find out the gender of our new baby before the birth and to have a big surprise. Our new darling daughter decided to surprise us in another way by arriving six weeks early on January 12th. Susie Spud was a tiny little thing (5 pounds 8 ounces), but healthy and sweet as could be.

Everything else that has gone on in the past 9 months pales in comparison to our sweet little miracle!

But don't think that gets you out of hearing about those things....there will be blog posts, oh yesssss, there will be blog posts. The adventure of making Little Sister's Christmas dress--Little Sister's 3rd Ballerina Third Birthday Party--Our Thanksgiving adventure having all of the Assistant Gardener's family at our home--My parent's 50th Anniversary Party in Florida---and of course, Susie Spud's birth story.

Glad to be back, bloggers, glad to be back!
