Catching Up

Well, it has been a busy week. Ahhhhh "Peaching"... Mom, Teresa & I canned 200 lbs of peaches in 2 days.

I was surprised at how well Evan and Megan did without being fully entertained each moment. Things went very well. Last year Evan came down with a high fever and didn't sleep through the nights - so this year was a welcome change. I should have taken photos of all of the peaches when they were done. But just picture 75 quarts and 30 pints of juicy goodness. Mmmmm peaches!

So many memories were made. Where shall I start?




My dad is a marshmallow... After years of - don't feed the strays, Dad is the one that brings small friends home. He took Evan out to meet the new kittens - and then surprised us all by bringing one into the house. Evan loved it!





We enjoyed a beautiful sunset off the deck one evening - it always amazes me the beauty our Creator shares with us.



Megan started her attempts at crawling. How can it be here already? She gets to where she wants to go now without rolling being part of the factor. Soon she will be flying across the room. She is so sweet up on all fours - and I was so glad that Pa and Grammie were there to enjoy the event with me, but sad that Mark missed that first moment. Although he was very impressed when we got home.



Dad treated us to supper after a full day of canning - He and Evan went into town with the top down - enjoying cruise night at the local A&W. Evan is Pa's little buddy - can't you see why.





We also got a good laugh when Pa had Evan help him wash the welding truck only to have the hose turned on him.
















We even had the joy of spending time with my brother and his family. It is so good to see them and is amazing that their kids change so quickly. We enjoyed Maddie's 7th birthday earlier in the week, and went back for supper on Friday. A great time was had by all.
