Canning Update...

This year was a little different with a newborn, so I lowered my expectations and only did as much as I wanted to. when I felt like stopping, I did. When I wanted to be done, I quit- so it wasn't an overwhelming year! So far I I've done 40 quarts of peaches and 55 pints (or smaller) of triple berry peach jam. (One batch is strawberry, blackberry, pinapple peach jam!)There is nothing greater than looking at those beautiful jars when I walk in the kitchen, let me tell you! And being at the orchard is next to Heaven, I think. I am pretty easy to please... hopefully applesauce will be next!

Classic Tristin...

This is what I found today, typical boy stuff.

Cute sweater...

Roman came out with DeArley & I yard saling this morning so I put him in his cute new sweater.

Little man...

Carnival...

We took the kids to another church carnival tonight that was in our area. As a church planning person, I know how nice it is when the community comes out and supports the event you are holding- plus it was a carnival and we knew the kids would have fun. They had yummy food, lots of games, church displays, crafts, face painting and bouncy houses. We stayed for close to 2 hours and everyone had a lot of fun.

Roman...

What was she thinking?

99% of the time, I have no idea what is going through Grace's little head. One minute she's sweet, the next, a little pill- one minutes she's up, the next she's down, so it's no surprise when she draws on the baby's forhead for no apparent reason!
