Ode to Four

Time races quickly, Remy Roo.
Tonight as I said goodnight to you,
I felt my heart pang as it swelled,
Knowing what this last night held.

My baby boy has closed this day,
And just like that, four's gone away.
Tomorrow starts year number five,
Proud though I am - I had to cry.

I froze time, with help of lens,
These snapshots are my faithful friends.
I love you, son, more than you know...
I cherish moments while you grow.

Good night, sweet dreams, sleep happily.
Come morning a full hand you'll be.

Happy Halfday Charlie and Ephram!

At the end of June, we celebrated the half birthdays of our December born boys.
Happy three and a half Ephram!
Happy seven and a half Charlie!

Berry Picking at Bailey's

We had a most excellent day at Bailey's Vegetable Farm - 

Just me, the boys, and a big group from our Mom's group.

We planted a corn kernel in the fields to help celebrate the farm's centennial.

We took a tractor ride to the fields.

We picked lots of perfectly red and delicious strawberries.

Ephram even got good at figuring out which ones to get.

(Although he asked me to actually pick them off after the first few bugs he saw.)

Charlie was so dedicated to filling his pint up just right!

We went back to the barn and ate lunch,

Spaghetti-O's for the boys, 

And then played in the barn until everyone was tired.

And hot.

And happy.
