July 4th Blueberry Pickin’

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

We’re enjoying a family reunion with many of my aunts and cousins, and we took our 2 year old blueberry picking! What a wonderful thing to do with all the kids. Our toddler really enjoyed herself. She was so excited about having her own cup for the berries and choosing her own to pick. Her older cousins showed her how to pick only the best and bluest. Of course, for every one that ended up in her bucket at least two went into her mouth, but thats part of the fun!

We ended up with over 15 lbs of blueberries, and now we’re eating berries in our salads and our cereal… and we’re about to eat some yummy blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream.

Here are some pics I thought I’d share.

My Little Girl Turned 2 on Fathers Day

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

It was a whirlwind of a weekend. The organized chaos included a house full of visiting family, last minute home and garden improvements, a bonanza of cooking and decorating and play, and a backyard birthday bash for our big girl.

But in the midst of all the excitement, she and I managed to sneak away to the garage-turned-craftroom to make a special collage for daddy.

We displayed it at her party alongside zucchini-pineapple bread and salty dog mixers, a reminder that while Lil’ J was the star of this particular show, all dads at our party were to be celebrated too.

Happy belated Fathers Day to all dads everywhere! And thank you, my beloved husband, for our wonderful 10 years together, and for being the best dad ever to our wonderful little girl for the last 2 of those years!
