Time flies when your having fun!!

Well here it is the middle of July, the dog days of summer in my book. Here is an update on some happenings in our lives.

Noah is a little stinker. He had a birthday, and it passed without him walking. When I say walking, I mean like taking steps away from whatever he is holding on to himself without our encouragement. He will gladly walk from mommy to daddy and back, but only for short distances. We know that he can do it, he is just happy crawling. He also has the special talent of climbing stairs like a monkey. He is fast.

Eli is ready to start his second year of school at the Montessori school. He is really excited and keeps asking if it is time to go to school. This summer Josh has been taking the boys to storytime nearly every wednesday and they love it. Eli has his very own library card and checks out books to read all week. It is super nice to have that activity to do and get out of the house.

Josh and I are super excited about the upcoming visits. I always love to get over to see my sis, and now she will definantely owe me a trip or two cause this will be the 3rd trip in 3 months. Then hopefully we will get the pleasure of hosting Christine and children (Jared is also welcome hint hint) for awhile. We kinda have a tradition of going to the county fair together and I really enjoy that time that we have. The in the end of September all of Josh's family will be coming to Burns for the first time. I simply can't wait! It will be the first time his brothers have met the boys, and his dad had only met Eli when he was an infant. I can't wait!

My garden is doing really well for my first year. The fencing has done it's job so far and kept the dear out. My only problem is weeds, they sure do grow fast! Josh has helped me a great deal with the garden too, and I am so lucky to have the help. I have harvested cilantro and am waiting for everything else to come on. Oh yeah, green onions too! The tomatos are growing fast with this heat wave, and the peppers have exploded too! I hope to feed all the coming visitors with garden fresh produce this fall!

I am going to keep up with the blog more in the future I hope..... Stay tuned!
