Family Update

I just wanted to update on what has been going on this past week even though it is all random stuff and not much. Our family reunion was last weekend and we had a great time. Teresa really did a great job with everything. The kids had a blast and didn't want to leave. This is the only pictures I took cause I was busy with arts and crafts but this is Vallie with her second cousin, Malissa. Vallie is refusing to look at me hoping if she doesn't make eye contact I will not make her go home. She just loves Malissa. Thanks for swinging with Vallie for literally HOURS!
The kids have been reading non stop for the past few weeks. Honestly that is what we have been up to. I signed the kids up for the summer reading program at the library and both of them are done with it. We have found some wonderful literary treasures. I am sure you all know about The Kissing Hand since most of you are early education majors but it is so cute and if you have someone leaving for kindergarten this year, it is a must read.
As for our big boy Brahm he is now rolling over and tucking his knees up under his body when he lays on his belly. He has also lost all of his baby hair and is a little bald beauty.Wait, did I say ALL, I meant all but this little tuft in the back. We can't go anywhere without someone commenting on his little tuft. It is okay little guy cause I am loosing all my hair too. I don't know about any of you moms but when I nurse, I can just pull out gobs of hair. I am starting to get little bald spots in the front (I will spare you the pictures though).

Green Beans anyone?

The other thing we have been doing is barely keeping up with our garden. We have had buckets of green beans. Here lays the source of our problem......The healthiest green bean plants we have ever had. I guess if that is a problem. We just have more than enough for our little family. Also, we have had tons of cherry, grape and paste tomatoes but we are anxiously waiting for some of out beefsteak ones to ripen. We have quite a few bigger than a baseball but none turning yet. Tons of green onionsOur most unhealthy looking pepper plants ever but we are getting good peppers. Nothing like the plethora of last year though. My soil is lacking something. I really need to baby them I guess. I picked our last crop of peas this week so will have to mulch them around the peppers to give them a boost of nitrogen and hope that does the trick. Also, our basil is doing good but it is already seeding and I am not sure why. Any clues dad? Anyway this was our week in a nutshell hopefully next week will be more exciting.
