Palm Branches

Yesterday was Palm Sunday!  We had such a wonderful church service with lots of singing and special music!  The kids (including my nephew) performed a song and it was so cute!!

Tarcil doesn't like getting left out of anything, so of course I had to let him have his part of the fun.  :)

Building a Nest

Whenever I clean Tarcil's cage, I give him fresh tissues and other soft things to build his "nest".  And this is how he does it.  It is so funny!  I love the end where he is begging for more.  :)

Fat Cheeks

I love that face! It's so cute when he stuffs his cheeks with food!

Stealing Penny's Spot

Over the months, I have slowly allowed Tarcil and Penny (my cat) to meet.  I started by letting Penny sniff Tarcil without him seeing her in order to see her reaction.  When I was positive that she didn't view him as food, then I let Tarcil see her from a distance.  When he made it clear that he was not afraid of her, I started letting him sniff her.  Ironically, with all of the effort I put in, now Penny is terrified of Tarcil.  HAHAHA!  Seriously, Penny will only be around him if she can sit at a safe distance away.  If Tarcil starts moving towards her, then she runs away!  My cat is afraid of a hamster!  :)

So anyways, I thought it was fitting to show you a picture of Tarcil sitting in Penny's favorite spot, since Tarcil now rules this house.  Haha :)

Does he look smug to you?  I think this new found power is going to his head.  Ha!  :)

Window sill

Today is finally a warmer day!  The forecast indicates that this warmer weather won't last too long.  But that is okay.  I know that before too long, it will be hot!  :)

Tarcil loves seeing and exploring new places as often as possible, even if that means only ever seeing them from a distance.  :)

Peeking Outside

Yesterday was a busy, but very fun day for me!  The most exciting news is that my newest nephew was born!  I was able to meet him and hold him last night for a little bit.  His name is Hezekiah, or Zeke for short.  He is so precious!!  :)  Check out my other blog later today to see pictures of Zeke!  :)

I don't like how cold it is today, and I especially don't like that we are supposed to get more snow.  I feel just like Tarcil, peeking outside to decided if I am brave enough to venture out.  Haha.  While Tarcil gets to stay warm inside, I have errands to run out in the cold.  I guess this weather will just help me to appreciate the warmth when it does finally decide to stick around.  :)

To Do Lists

Every week I like to start by making a to do list or a schedule that covers all the activities for each day.  I make notes of specific items that I don't want to forget as well as plan the meals for the rest of the week.  Today I had Tarcil's help in doing this.  Although to be honest, he was more of a distraction than a help... hahaha  :)
