Avery in his element

 Boy, did this museum keep my baby busy! Avery had a blast running from one thing to the next. LOVED milking the cow, sliding, the water features, and all the other exhibits. So glad we got a membership!

That boy, Asher Winston...

Asher was in rare form at the Arboretum this afternoon. I mean, really? Who is this boy? My eldest son has grown up and into a funny and spirited guy, all in front of the camera.

What do you do with 5 lbs of strawberries?

Freezer jam!  I will certainly enjoy the fruits of my labor after my labor. :) It was a bountiful fruit-wknd-- peaches from our tree, great deal on cherries, over-abundance of blueberries. Peaches disappeared first in a cobbler, followed by the blueberries by the handfuls. The cherries were eaten as quickly as S could pit them.

Happy 9th Birthday, Reese!

Our big brown boy is 9 today! Well, according to our calendar he is! :) Reese got a new Nylabone this morning, and hopefully the cupcakes will get baked...

Claire's Gymnastics Exhibition

A little shy in the beginning but in the end our little gymnast warmed up and showed us a few things on the bars, beam, and soft block pit. : )
