Beginning of Summer

Our summer has been pretty eventful so far. Last weekend we went home to West Tennessee to see my family and got to spend a little time with little Olivia (I forgot to take pics while we were there). She is so precious and perfect and we cannot wait for our little one to get here so they can play together!

We also stopped by the cabin to do a little clean up work before the new renters move in. Matt cut the grass and did some things in the house while I worked on pulling weeds in the flower beds and pulling up the landscape lighting. The flower beds and lighting need a lot more TLC than we can give right now, so the best option was for the lights to go. Hopefully we can make it back out there soon to finish working in the flower beds.

Then this weekend we went to Lexington, VA for a beautiful wedding and were able to spend some time hiking around a favorite spot of ours on the Blue Ridge Parkway called Indian Rocks. These rocks are amazing! We don't know the history on them, but they are really cool to hike around and walk under in some places.

Our garden is still doing great! We finally got some broccoli from the garden and have enjoyed lots of green beans and squash. Will hopefully be putting some of it in the freezer this week so we can enjoy them in the fall/winter as well.

Baby B and I are doing great! We went to the doctor last week and are doing well and right on schedule according to our wonderful doctor. We still can't believe that in about 11 short weeks (give or take a few) Baby B will be here and our lives will be forever changed! We have been receiving (and buying) a few baby items and can't wait for Baby B to use them! Our names list continues to get smaller and we think we may have the names narrowed down for delivery day. But we are still keeping them a secret. :) Starting to get in the tired phase again (or maybe it is from all of the traveling) and I think Matt secretly hopes I start "nesting" soon. I have tried to tell him that "nesting" doesn't always happen so he doesn't have his hopes too high, but I know he wishes I would get motivated to do some organizing/going through stuff.

MJ asked for some belly pics (can't bring myself to photograph the actual belly yet, sorry MJ) but I will end with some pics of me sporting the belly bump. Hopefully I won't regret putting this on-line for the world (ok, the three of you) to see. :)

A Post with Lots of Pictures...

So, what's been going on with you during the last three weeks? Well, I'll go first if you don't mind...On the gardening front...

The garden exploded since the last picture was posted. Here it is this morning...

(from left to right: broccoli, green peas (almost gone), green beans, tomatoes (hidden by the squash) zucchini, squash, corn)

So far, we have harvested over a pound of green peas and almost 10 pounds of squash!

The broccoli has started flowering and the green beans are starting to sprout.

And the best surprise this year is that our grape fine has grapes on it!!!

We planted it when we were at the cabin and relocated it to our new house, so it is either a 3 or 4 year old vine and this year it has grapes on it!

And one last gardening item, I installed a timer for the soaker hoses so we don't have to worry about forgetting that we turned the water on and running up the water bill.

On the knitting front...Here is the blanket I made for Olivia (who arrived of Friday, June 3 weighing in at 7 lb 12 oz.)

Thanks for making it to the bottom of this post. I didn't realize I had so many pictures to show!

Love, Khakki
