Salsa time!!

Our garden did pretty well at our house - the tomatoes LOVE that south side, and we got quite a bit off.  The kids were very helpful, and Abigail used the food chopper to chop up everything for the salsa. Then we all ate it! I was excited that the kids actually liked it this year.

Aunt Trina

On the 31st of July we got a special visitor - my Aunt Trina decided to come up and we were so happy to have her!  She is the best - a baby whisperer (Cassidy loved sleeping in her arms), and a playmate for my older kids. They were very sad when it was time for her to drive home.

two weeks

Time flies!  Our teeny girl is 2 weeks old, and at her appointment weighed 7.5 lbs. She's eating well, and learning to sleep better!  She often gags/chokes on milk which causes her to scream. I tilted her little pack and play up, and she will sleep longer in her swing. When she is awake and happy, she loves looking around and the kids think it's funny how she moves her arms.
