It's a boy!?

Well, it is now official, we are expecting a BOY in October.  We were both very surprised when all family trends point to only have girls from here on out, but we got this curve ball thrown at us.  I'm afraid my family might be a little jealous since I am the only one to have more than one boy and as for Aaron's family, it just evens the cousins out with 7 girls and now 7 boys.  Since this came as quite a shock to us it has taken us time to think of boy names, now that we've got to start thinking boy more now instead of girl, but I'm sure by mid-October we'll have a good name for our new little baby.

Garden Time

We've lived in our home for a year now and we were so excited to clean things up in the back yard to have a clean sand box and a garden spot and a few weeks ago we got our garden, before we had all the rain storms.  It's been fun to see the little growth that has happened just within the last few weeks, but here are some pictures of one of the few sunny days we had this month to plant our garden.

The final product, behind me is the salsa garden, the middle dirt box has pumpkin and cantaloupe that have already come up and the third dirt box is full of strawberry plants that are already blossoming.  We haven't had to water much since we've planted, and the garden is looking great! We hope to have a great harvest this year!
