E's Current Faves

Two of E's favorite things right now are princess dancing and her 3D glasses.  She has a play CD player that provides the music (pictured on top of her head).  Or sometimes we just sing and dance.  She is very particular and wants Mom to dance, but only in a certain way.  "Mom, you follow me and stop when I hold my hand up."  There are often costumes and accessories galore.











At Madagascar we got 3D glasses.  Elizabeth didn't wear hers for half the movie, but takes them everywhere we go now.  They are very important to have in the car and are often worn upside down.  She is quite the fashionista!

Starting to Harvest

The bunnies have moved out and the garden is doing fairly well.  Everything is at least blooming if not producing.  We have enjoyed tomatoes already and are close to enjoying corn as well.  The beans and squash are flowering like crazy, so hopefully they aren’t too far behind.

Something we did not intend to "pick" this month were our two pear trees in the front yard.  The wind took them out and Dad and Grandpa spent lots of time to get them properly removed.  We'll be looking to replace them hopefully next spring with something heartier of course.

Ben Swims

 Ben's flying leap into the water

After Ben’s Miller swim lessons ended, he was able to sign up for a two week session through his school with Ms. Jane.  The school bussed him to Wright Christian Academy every day and he swam with Ms. Jane and other teachers each morning.  Mom got to watch on the last day.  On that day he was keeping his head up and really struggling to make it very far.  Ms. Jane pulled Mom aside and said, yesterday he was swimming the width of the pool.  But we taught him how to come up for a breath so he could go farther and now that is all he wants to do!  :)  He’ll figure it out and hopefully we’ll enjoy more pool time this summer.
