Odds & Ends

A short update on the normal happenings of my days...at least around our home.  I MUST start remembering to take my camera on outings so that I can pictorially document that part of our lives too! Nonetheless, here are some pictures to enjoy...

Mother's Day...honoring Mom with a meal together at El Charro.  We always enjoy getting together, eating, and talking!

Our neighbor Margot with the kids and bunnies.  

Playing with bunnies...sadly, all our bunnies are gone.  We think a racoon figured out how to get into the pen.  I now hate racoons.  

A favorite activity these days is to don a helmet and cruise "the stretch" (name given by the boys) - a strip of street here in front of our house.  

Here's Vincent, cruising "the stretch" and pulling his little sister behind!

There they go again - he definitely wins the "best big brother" award for doing this!  And he volunteers - he loves anything with wheels - pulling or pushing or riding.  He even gives me a ride in this wagon!

Us, in all our craziness.

He may have to work a little harder, but he can even do this!

Him, in all his craziness!

Goof - love this guy!

Yeah, this slithery lady has made her home in our basement.  I've grown accustomed to keeping an eye out for her and stepping right on by to do my laundry.  One of these days I may convince one of the kids to pick her up by her tail and take her back out to the woods...!! 

New addition to our front steps.  Plus Annaliese's cute toes.

Straw bale update - green beans growing, Edamame planted and starting to come up in the surrounding bales.  

Cucs.

My favorite girl in the whole entire world!

Playing at Grandma and Grandpa Witmers.

Newest project - spray painting tomato stakes to add a splash of color in our garden!

The work space...!

Front flower garden - my goal is to fill it with perennials, and cram it full so that there is little to no weeds!
