from our garden

We just picked these from our garden! Woohoo!!!!! The boys are really excited that finally stuff is growing. We lots more cucumbers growing. Lots of green tomatoes, but nothing red. Our corn stalks are bare. Peter is sad that we don't have corn already. The green peppers are doing just ok. The zucchini has the two that we just picked and the yellow squash has just the one so far. The orange mint is growing wild. I need to figure out how to transplant that a little farther over. It is crowding the tomatoes.

Ok, so I'm really not a gardener. But not bad for our first attempt.

Hugs to you all! Monica

Benjamin's bday

I know, I'm a little behind in blogging.... Benjamin turned 8 on May 31. We celebrated his birthday at Spencer's Grill. It was an awesome party!!!! Caroline and Lauren and Melanie are fantastic and really helped make Benjamin's bday special. We love that place and go there almost every Sunday after Mass.

Anyway, Lauren made Benjamin 8 pancakes with candles on top. Benjamin was so excited! I love this picture. It shows just how many bites make up 8 pancakes. So Fun!!!

Basement work has started

Woohoo! So it has only taken 2 months. It seems like forever!!!!!!!!! The water came on May 5 and today they have finally started the drywall taping. I so wish this could have been planned better. But the water didn't see it that way!

I can't wait to get things back to where they belong. Unfortunately, it will probably be another two weeks before things are back in order, but at least the process has finally started!

Hugs!
