What am I forgetting...
Well, we've had a visit from Grandma Diane since last we spoke. We also had a visit from our dear friends Fraser and Sarah who drove down from Victoria to play boardgames with us. We've spent the past 6 weeks doing 3 days down in Pasadena, and 4 days up in Owens Valley. It's been crazy busy, but fun. Makes us feel young to pile the kids in the car and drive 5 hours up into the mountains. Live out of a suitcase in a motel because they're painting the cabin. That's right. 4 of us - 1 room, and a fresh loaf of bread, because if we have to do without so much else, we're at least going to have fresh bread.
Anyhow, here are some random pics from the past month or so. Edmund rolls and propels himself forward so that he can get a toy/book/shoe/hand to chew on. Bronson is looking like a real big boy. Mom is tired and dad is working hard.
This picture (above) was taken in August, the picture below was taken a week ago. It's amazing the difference 3 weeks makes in the look of him!
Oh, right! Bronson also turned 3 on Sept 3rd! We were in Owens Valley, to celebrate we went to the train museum, then had cupcakes in the kitchen at the observatory (where w went to cook dinner every night because we were living out of a small simple motel room).
The following weekend, when back in Pasadena we crashed a Chilean party with a cake for Bronson, and the wonderful hosts supplied a Lightning McQueen pinata. B and his friend Jesse were the only kids there, so they now have a lifetime's worth of pinata toys and candy each. I made a train cake for this gathering (because what's a birthday without a cake made by mommy and people singing and candles...just piling on the guilt to ya mom :) )
Hope everyone is well, we are good, I will update sooner rather than later!
Here is the first real crop we got from our garden. Below are more and more of what we got. Our garden produced alot of good beans for all of us to enjoy, we also got plenty of arugula and butter lettuce, not enough tomatoes, more chives than I could handle and LOTS of zucchini. Now the season is changing and we have pulled it all up and planted afresh. I hope to do better with my garden photos for Winter 2009.
Yes sirree, we had fried zucchini, zucchini casserole, zucchini loaf, baked zucchini, stuffed zucchini, zucchini brownies, zucchini stirfry, zucchini in the trash can. Next year only 1 plant please!
