Gardening

Sincerely, I am sorry I haven't been blogging lately.  Little Pea (who is actually the size of a peach this week.  I am 12 weeks along today) is sucking all my extra energy.  I can barely get such extra curricular activities such as laundry and dishes done these days. 

We are going on a week-long trip to Daytona, FL with the Fleenors tomorrow.  Andrew has been begging to leave "now! Please Mommy!" for days.  (If you would like highlights from our last Daytona trip, plus a look at the squirt two years ago, see here.  Andrew and I have been watching these videos and others from his first year to get ready for our new baby.  He really likes the one where he is crawling for the red cup.)  It is a 9 hour drive down, so I am hoping to do some blogging on the way to catch you up on all that has happened.  (Really, I'm not sure I even know.  I spent a lot of the last month napping.  Have I mentioned that I have a fantastic husband?)  In the mean time, I took some pictures with my real camera this week that I just had to share.

Andrew and Papa have been working hard in the garden lately.  We saw a Curious George episode about composting, so he had to get a closer look at Papa's composter. 
 He is planting some beans for me on one of Papa's stepping stones in this picture. 
Andrew helped Papa start the carrot seeds in the spring.  This day there was just one carrot ready to be harvested...


 So proud!
 All sliced up and ready to eat

 We went to help Mom bring the blueberries in on Monday.  She really has a bumper crop this year.
How gorgeous are these?
And how gorgeous is she?

Actually, everyone I had with me that day was pretty beautiful.




 I have always said that kid had blueberry eyes!
 Andrew really wants to be in on the picture-taking these days.  He got these of Nana and Mom (with some technical assistance)
He also took it upon himself to be our quality control inspector.
"Only the blue ones, Mommy"
 "See, like this"

Mondays are my favorite days.

Promise I will post soon...

Pregnancy is kicking my butt this time around. I am hardly knitting, if that tells you how I'm feeling.

To tide you over until I post more thoroughly:

Andrew's version of horse shoes:

What happens when you throw the frisbee between the fence and trash can after daddy asks you not to:
Cucumbers are yummy

Introducing..

Little Pea!


(By the way, that little Cherrio at the top isn't the head, it's the yoke sack. And the thing at the bottom that looks like a leg is actually a tail. The thing is pretty stinkin' tiny)
Baby is almost a cm long an already has a beating heart. How amazing is our God? They adjusted my due date to Jan 23rd. For those keeping score at home, Andrew's due date was January 24th. Yep.

Everything is perfectly healthy. I have been feeling ok, with some days better than others. I haven't had much serious morning sickness, but the exhaustion is way worse than I remember with Andrew, probably because of Andrew. I am very happy to not be throwing up.

Some more pictures from camping. Even the drive to the campground was fun

Our good tent sleeper. We loved being in the same room as him at night.


This was the skill Emily taught Andrew over the weekend:

He was pretty tuckered out on the way home.


Singing and dancing along with Blue's Clues. See if you can find his "think, think, think" face.

Some of my pics of Andrew from the wedding. Visit Josh's Facebook pg for more goodies from the day. It was gorgeous.








Andrew has been getting some practice with a camera too.
