Well, I like to do things chronologically, but life just slips by so quickly these days, thought I better get these pictures up before my kids go off to college! ;)
The girls are getting so big, both of them! Guenna is talking up a storm, and did you notice she got glasses? ;) We thought she looked pretty cute with her glasses and summer time piggy tails! Guenna is two, and life can be a little rough when you're two. But, on the other hand she is a very sweet and loving little girl, thank the Lord for that! Cait continues to bring us many smiles and laughs, and the kids are all soooo impressed with her walking abilities, still ;) She's so fun and gains more personality with each passing day, I love having daughters!
Nana Judi came up and helped us celebrate the 4th, it was so fun! We had a blast spending most of the day at Nana and Papa's, we have such great family! And of course the highlight for the kids was seeing their baby Eva, she is growing sooooo fast
!
Lovin' that papa!
We've been having a lot of fun in the yard lately, enjoying all the sunshine and our growing plants, including the neighbor's morning glory! This is Aidan's "plunger" I think like LarryBoy :)
The kids now have a dirt box behind "Fort Burns" and the other day I managed to get it covered with a tarp (of course last night Guenna and Eamon decided it would make a nice hammock. Um, no. Thankfully the tarp didn't rip! I know that I never actually said, "please do not climb on top of the tarp, but now you know and I hope it's really clear, "that is NOT okay!"
Okay, I finally have enough going on in my garden to show off what we have growing so far! Here's the corn, one whole box dedicated to corn.
Pumpkin plants in the corner, and our first little pumpkin to the right. If it turns out like it appears, we are going to have loads of pumpkins! It's been so fun to see them blooming!
Top to bottom, cilantro which is almost done, two boxes of kohlrabi, and lettuce.
Red beets on left, kale, peppers, tomatoes, and orange beets on right.
Here is my biggest tomato plant, it's a yellow cherry and doing really well! Almost ready to pick some fruit!
Carrots in the corner boxes, califlower in the two center, and romaine lettuce on the back side of the large tomato plant. All the gardening has been fun! The kids seem to really be enjoying all the work of tending to the garden, and I have too. Today I've been weeding and planting some more seeds. Guenna decided to help me out. I left the seed packets on the swing outside and came out later to see that she had emptied (I probably had about 15-20 varieties, most of which belonged to my neighbor), them onto the swing. Thanks sis. What a big help you can be at time. I will hold my tongue and thank the Lord that it didn't happen before I got any of my seeds planted! Oh well, what' $40 worth of your neighbor's seeds, right?!
And this one, she's becoming just as much of a helper as her big sister! Well, one day they wont be little anymore and I will miss all their sweet little messes. Thank you Lord for all these wonderful moments that you've given me with these beautiful children! And so many to help, please give me the grace to laugh when I want to cry. Well, I better wrap it up. Good night!
Talked to Tam this morning. She said that Eian is doing better today but still not 100% so he is still in the nursery. They had him on 25% oxygen in the little incubator and are weaning him down to room level which is only 21% so he's almost there. Tam is anxious to get him out of there and to get him in her room so she can be with him at all times. It's so hard to not be able to be with him so please pray with us that he will be completely stable today and she can take him to her room and then home tomorrow. In my humble opinion, the baby will recover much quicker when he's close to his mama, like he's used to.
Tam is doing really well, feeling much better today. Must have been that night of sleeping without contractions every 3 minutes! That will do it every time :) Thanks for all your prayers for Tam, and San, and baby Eian. I know they really appreciate it!
