Since when did it become okay to ask personal information about a stranger's children? I'm not comfortable telling my family's names and birth dates to someone I just met, thanks!

Naptime... Everything's quiet:

Jack (asleep): NO STOP CYPRUS GIVE IT BACK STOOOOP CYPRUS!!!!
Evie: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!
Jack (awake): Mommy, what happened to Evie??

Evie has just discovered her thumb! She is sucking it with much contentment. :)

Planting swiss chard and lettuce at last! Am I finally getting this yard somewhat under control?

Jack: Yay! Everyone is happy! :)

Catching Up

By the way, the new house and yard need tons of attention, so there's not much time for blogging.... But I assure you we're still alive! And having loads of fun. :)

toasting marshmallows

Mmm, I reek of wood smoke. Nothing like having a fire pit in the back yard!
