Grace is Seven Months old





Hard to believe but our little bundle is now Seven months old! She has been so much fun to watch grow and learn! This month Grace has figured out how to crawl!! It really is so sweet to see her determination when she wants to get somewhere! No teeth yet, but according to her mood, these are quickly on their way! We have been busy walking and exploring the neighbourhood and playing out in the sun! Grace loves to watch Aries play and has quite a happy face for him. She gives a little "oof" back when he barks or runs by. Hope you are all enjoying the beautiful weather!

First Harvest


I took Grace over to the garden last night to have a look at what we might be able to harvest but it turned out that we were the harvest for the mosquito population this side of the rockies, so I had to bring her home. Just as well, there turned out to be quite a bit that needed to come out of the ground! This is the first garden I have had where I can actually say we will be eating a home grown meal tonight, minus the steak that I am going to treat us to!! A potato is a fascinating thing! You put a shrivelled up old sprouting one in the ground, and voila! You get about 12 beautiful big shiny ones back! Our beets were ready as well, the greens are gorgeous and the root is so red and sweet! A few carrotts made their way in to our basket as well, and onions. Looking forward to preparing a beautiful meal for my family tonight!
