Our Garden

In early spring we planted seedlings for our garden. We kept them in our house for two months. Jason worked hard to build another bed to add to the one from last year. We had to move the one from last year over and refill it with dirt and fill our new one with dirt as well. It was a lot of hard work, especially while I was pregnant, but it paid off! We have zucchini, yellow squash, oregano and basil, and spinach that we've already enjoyed eating. Soon the tomatoes will be ripe along with the carrots, green beans, peppers, onions, and garlic. We thought we planted cucumbers, but we don't even see the plant or a space where they could have grown. Between my pregnant mind and Jason's being gone a lot, who knows what happened with those? Victoria and Karissa had fun helping us and picking our monstrous zucchini and squash.
Austin Update:

Austin is still an angel baby, even though he is awake more. He just happily looks around, as long as someone is nearby. He doesn't like to be left in a room alone when he is awake and will cry until we come back in the room. I guess he enjoys his sisters' loud noises, and believe me, they are loud! Austin likes to be sung to, to be outside, and he loves baths! Here is a little video of him in the tub.
