Random Miscellaneous from our House....

I put my order in at Henry Fields today :-) I am so excited, even though I am setting my sites high for having a new baby and expecting to yield garden blessings... Thankfully, Gabe appreciates my desire to grow at least some of our food, so he is very helpful! I ordered one huckleberry plant, two goji berries, and seeds for carrots, sugar snap peas, green pole beans, zucchini, and sweet bell peppers. I think that's mostly easy stuff to harvest and eat :-) I would have ordered more corn- I loved the seeds I had last year, and I still have some left, but I need to remember where I got them. They produced all season instead of in a bunch, plus the ears developed really well compared to my previous year!

Kiera is coming along really well with her potty training. I haven't mentioned it much because we are doing the "no-pressure" approach with her- just encouragement and "candies!" She is starting to be able to know when she needs to go, and catching herself to at least finish in the pot. She does the best after naps and in the morning. She is so proud, and Melia is great- "I'm so proud of you Kiera! Good job!"

Mom and Dad watched the kids for us last night so we could fit in a date- we went to see Defiance; we both wanted to see this one. I will do a review later... because of our views on our personal future as Christians and Americans, I found this movie to be intensely thought provoking.
