Our little cherubs :)

Isn't he a doll? He smiles so easily :)

And this is for Lisa... even though I wouldn't let him out of the house with ears on his head, and I would even be a little leery to go with Pooh on his shirt... I had to let him try it out :). He left the hat on for hours, not wanting to take it off. I guess that'll be the only time 'cause it's getting a little small.

A Visit from Opa and Oma

My parents came out for a visit last weekend. It was great to see them again and always nice to visit. James needed a reminder as to who they are so he won't be scared to stay with them for a couple days while Jerry, Lucas and I head out East in a couple weeks :)

Lucas thought the joke was pretty funny :)

My Three Great Loves :)

The boys... hanging out. I think there's still room for me on that love seat, eh? :)

Corny, eh?

The other day I picked some corn. Canned 2 pts! woohoo! And James tried to help shuck one :)

Brothers!

Don't they just look happy together? This is the beginning of a beautiful relationship! :)

More of the Garden

Our first bit of corn and cherry tomatoes... and a carrot thrown in for some colour :)
Check out this mountain of beans! I now have 39 little baggies of beans in the freezer (enough for 1 meal each) so we are set for at least half the year :)

How My Garden Grows

My garden is finally thriving. After 2 years of sorry looking produce, the Lord was merciful and blessed us with a fabulous garden! I'm so excited! This spring, Jerry rented a tiller and plowed up a little plot of land. I was worried because the soil looked terrible! Clay! So he rented a tiller again and tilled in some fertilizer. Feeling a little bit better about this, we set out to plant our seeds. And one last added measure to ensure produce, Jerry build a fence around it to ward off the deer and rabbits. Seems to be working, by the grace of God :).

Lisa gave me the idea to show off my produce, so here goes!

Here are my beans! Note, not a single bite mark. The past 2 years I've only been able to freeze about 1/3 of my produce because the bugs got the rest!

Cucumbers! And there's a tonne more coming... everyone's getting relish for Christmas :).

Beets! Jerry's personal favourite... or not :).

And here's the beginnings of my onions and carrots. I'm so proud of the carrots, because I've never been able to grow them before; I would always weed them before I realize they're carrots :0.
