even more garden photos

We've been having even more fun with our garden. We are now attracting many butter flies and enjoying raspberries and black berries (not shown).

Blessing and 4th of July

Hello Everyone,

Here are some pictures of Elizabeth in her blessing dress and in her patriotic swim apparel. We went camping last weekend and went swimming.

-Ben

She's a little angel.

And she might not like having that thing on her head. But maybe she does. You decide.

I'm a patriotic baby!

Get me out of this yucky water, mom.

Update of garden

We came home to find a bit of a jungle in the garden. The pumpkin that we planted in the corner grow over the top of the carrots, across the board for walking, across the onions, across the row of squash and the row of cucumbers all the way over to the tomatoes. We discovered even more perienial flowers. We had tulips, then dianthisus, daisies, and orcids. Now climatis, lillies, roses (which we didn't get a picture of) and many others I don't know the name of. Our lettuce grew into tree like formations, and the thyme and oregano went to seed. The blackberries are going crazy next to the house with loads of berries. We are excited to have loads of tomatoes and squash very soon. Thanks again to Mom for all her help in planting the garden this spring.

blessing dress

smiles

two weekends ago we went to a National Guard conference at the Wisconsin Dells.
Elizabeth learned to smile about 10 days ago. She practices everyday wither her new best friends: red, blue and green star. These friends are on the mobile above her bouncer seat. Not only do they provide Elizabeth endless entertainment, but they provide Ben and I endless entertainment as she smiles and talks to her stars until she gets hungry or tired. Her bouncer seat is on the table and is the best dinner entertainment we've ever had.You can see her looking at her stars in 5 different outfits.
