We're almost there- spring?

So there's lot to say/pictures to share since my last (real) post. My sister's visit was wonderful, but busy! And school has become very demanding of my time, not to mention that Killian's life is changing by his father entering his life for the first time.. so that puts extra stress on the both of us, not to mention more time out of my weeks for supervised visitation (this thursday will be our first one). But, we had a wonderful week.. Thursday we went to mcdonalds playland with friends while we waited for Wild Air to open up, and boy did killian have fun climbing into the tubes. Then, we were at Wild Air. He loved that as well. He was tired out by the time we got home! Friday was our usual storytime at the library, but Killian decided not to take a nap afterwards, so he was in bed as soon as we got home at the end of the night. Yesterday we spent our usual sat. morning at the mom and pop place, then after his nap, Killian got his hair cut. I was just going to layer it in the back, but decided to get him a faux hawk (I've always wanted one for him, but I didn't think it'd work with almost no hair on top). It looks adorable:
 
Getting all the hair shaved short
 
You can see it easier here.. so adorable
Sat. night Killian spent the night at my moms (in a big bed with bedrails.. he liked it MUCH better than the pack n' play)- and I went out for the first time (yes, I've been 21 for 9 months). It was fun and WONDERFUL to spend time with girlfriends who don't have children Killian's age. :) But I have to say, it's not something I'd do often. 
So today is a lazy day- we spent the morning at my mom's and came home for nap/afternoon. The house needs to be cleaned/picked up, and I'd like to get a walk/bike ride in this afternoon- it's just too beautiful NOT to be outside.

On a similar note... spring is in the air!! I started sprouting some of my seeds, and planned out when the rest either need to be sprouted, or planted in the ground/containers. OH how I love spring/summer! I'm excited for my CSA this year- I'm also doing a honey CSA :) AND now a girlfriend and I are going in on a meat CSA as well. This I'm VERY excited about, because a). the only meat I can/will purchase is beef and chicken at the supermarket, and I'm getting sick of those and b). I want to get better at cooking meat since Killian's not a vegetarian, and I'd like to start eating more meat- but only if it's humanely raised of course. 
This summer we're going to have SO much amazing food.. I think the only thing I'll have to purchase at the grocery store will be grains/breads/pasta. Oh how I love summer fruits/veggies!!
I'll end this post with some pictures from my sister's vacation here:
Bath time

 
Hugging.. so sweet (Killian would pat Gabe's back) :)

 
Killian wasn't so sure he liked Gabe taking his pony for a walk
