We are still here!!!  Picking.... peeling..... eating..... canning.....  and occasionally getting a little sleep!  Olivia is now two, and Emma is gearing up to start kindergarden in a month.  Mary Claire... well, she is Mary Claire!  Emma is encouraging me to continue the accidentally HUGE blanket I'm making for her to have when she transitions into her own room (a story for another day - hopefully another day in a year or so!), or as she calls it, her Art Room.  Meanwhile, I'm sidetracking on a throw for my couch in an attempt to do a project that will not require 800+ hours to finish.  Oi! 

I have pictures... tons of summer pictures.  Girls eating corn.... girls running around... puppy that has doubled in size.  Pictures of produce.  Pictures of baked goods.  Close your eyes and imagine.... because I can't access any of them right now to upload any of them! 

Summer, I love you.  But you are too hot.  I'm ready for fall.

What have we been up to?

 Crocheting....

 Puddle jumping....

 More puddle jumping

 Gardening....

And Arlow.  Our new baby Old English Sheepdog.

What have you been up to?
