Have I said this lately? I love my house.
The inside is comfortable and roomy enough for my little family
and the outside is just right. The lawn is a bit of a jungle
(it’s hard to find time for mowing, especially when the boy is
afraid of the loud noise), but that’s ok. It’s soft and good to
run around in. My garden is growing like mad and my pea plants
are out of control. Lex eats peas on a daily basis and is
eagerly awaiting the green beans and tomatoes. We have lots of
toys and the kids are easily entertained outdoors, and lunch
always tastes better on the picnic table. Today we took a walk
to the post office, and the playground to meet some friends,
then walked up to Alan’s office to pick him up after work. Now
the kids are sleeping in their comfortably air conditioned room
and Alan and I are enjoying all the comforts of home. Life is
good and I love my house! :)

My out
of control peas! I’m not sure if they are supposed to grow this
tall, but they have way exceeded my trellis and they don’t seem
to care!

Our new
clothes line. Before you laugh, let me explain. It’s a
retractable line and has a little hook thing to keep it tight.
About 3/4 of the way done I put a pair of jeans on there and
the hook came undone and the line dropped. Ahhh! So I had to
hold it up with one hand and reattach/adjust the hook with the
other, which resulted in a very low line :) We put it up mostly
for diapers, but I couldn’t resist hanging out this load on the
first sunny day in weeks. It was mid-80s and sunny with a
slight breeze. The clothes dried in no time!! Lex loved it and
happily handed me clothes pins. I, of course, had to stop him
from running back and forth under the (low hanging) wet
clothes. A good time was had by all :)

Cool
dude decided to wear shades instead of a hat today so “my eyes
don’t get sunburned.”

Eve was
fascinated with these flowers in the neighbors garden. She
“smelled” them and played with them and touch them and felt
them for a very long time. They are very nice flowers with
interesting buds (you can see one between the two pink flowers)
and she loved them.

This is
a silly picture to post, but I just love how cute they are in
the stroller. He was holding a snack and she was cuddled in to
him (to reach the snack) and they were just so sweet.

Tomorrow we go in for Eve’s allergy testing.
Wish us luck! Fingers crossed we can celebrate with
PB&J; and a big glass of milk!!
