Eli's first baseball lesson

This one's for you, Asher!

Bad, bad blogger

Yikes! I hadn't realized that it had been so long since I updated this blog. The warm, sunny summer weather has us outside most of the time (I'm sure the dust bunnies under the beds would be a great illustration). It will take me a few posts to catch up, but this summer has been a great one so far. We've been able to spend some time with family, plant a killer veggie garden, and spend time with our our new Boxer puppy. The fellow in the picture a couple of posts ago had to leave us when his owner showed up to claim him two weeks after he went missing (sniff, sniff). We fell in love with the breed, and my sweet hubby brought me this little beauty for my 32nd birthday. Her name is Ivy...

Elijah and Ali have been working on lots of great projects--painting, cooking, mud pies, the creation of costumes like this wizard outfit. And here's Ali with a "popple-stick" that she made out of apple juice and strawberries.
