Going to try and resurrect this thing...

So here we are. The Summer flew by, in fact it hardly felt like we had any Summer at all. Our weather was just lousy and combined with how wet and cold our Spring was my garden fared pretty poorly. My pumpkins didn't make it nor did some of my squash. I did get some stuff like lettuce, onions, carrots, peas, some green beans and a few zucchini. My tomatoes really only started to ripen about two weeks ago. But now it's been raining so much they are splitting and rotting on the vines. On the plus side the chickens are doing great and we've started getting our first eggs. Right now it looks like Roseberry is regularly laying, Princess is just starting and still sporadically. Because of Boba and Buffy's breeds they won't start laying for a while yet. The girls just love eating their special, home grown eggs. PJ got really excited the other day when frying some up found a double yolk! Apparently double yolk eggs happen more often in home grown chickens.


Bridget is in 1st grade now and is actually in a 1st/2nd split class. So far she is loving it. It seems weird with her being gone so much but I have noticed Maggie is much calmer during the day now. Instead of dance Bridget wanted to do gymnastics. She started gymnastics about a month ago and absolutely LOVES it. She is much more enthusiastic about gymnastics than she ever was about dance and loves the balance beam the most. Maggie has just started going to preschool twice a week. She's going to a Co-Op Preschool which means a hundred times more parental involvement than there ever was at Bridget's preschool. It's a learning experience for me too, but so far it's going well for both of us.

PJ started a new job over the Summer. Basically he's gone from working in the field to working an office job. It's still a little weird to see him in dress clothes everyday instead of Carhartt's and work boots. It also means a lot more laundry and ironing for me, booo! He's working a lot and has started traveling too. Actually, in November I get to tag along on a business/convention trip to Miami/Ft.Lauderdale, Florida for 6 days! It will be our first vacation together since our Honeymoon! If you can't tell I'm pretty excited.

We went to the Puyallup Fair last week with my Mom and of course the girls had an absolute blast! Here's some pics :)
