Whew! Its been a busy hot month! Too long since I've posted new pics. We've been spending lots of our time outdoors these days, which is made much more bearable by our shady yard. But today it was sticky with few breezes so we broke out the sprinkler even though it was not our day to 'water' Oops, but we didn't water yesterday when it was our turn so we're just making up for it by having fun! The first pick is of Jake 'reading' Brown Bear to Tom & Dad. He can do the whole book with a little peeking ahead. Tom can name all the animals and colors too! Our garden is really starting to boom. So far we've only had lettuce and peas out of it, but it looks like we'll have a bumper crop of cukes and tomatoes! Stay posted for a pic of the first tomato of the season if I can catch it before its eaten! We have to watch Tom around the garden because he'll pick things before they're ripe! The boys are growing almost as fast as the garden it seems. Tom's baby belly is melting away and he will tell you he's a big boy, not a baby!
