January 7-13
1: (7/1) after some consecutive days of Elora being successful with her toilet training, we sent the change table down to the shed down the hill. Since then, Elora has been asking for it, and whining about daddy taking her change table down the hill. 2: (8/1) some quiet, brotherly loving Lego building after dinner […]

Lettuce
Lettuce is a big part of our diet. We grow lettuce in the garden. We put it in our salads, along with other fresh goodies. I love to go out to the garden and pick stuff to eat. I can breathe deeper out in the garden. I like to check on the growth of the […]

1/1/13 – 6/1/13
6/1/13: she is growing up quickly, keeping me busy and entertained. The flower is not from my garden; I bought it and she snapped it from the bunch that I was keeping on the coffee table. I was cross at first, but we put it in this beautiful vase that belonged to Monte’s paternal grandmother, […]
