2015 is already half over!
R, aka "Squishy," went from a wee peanut to a bit of a porker.
Early June:
Late June:
We were visited by Papaw and Juju: a huge treat for all! Thank you for coming to see us! That's not an easy trip.
We had other visitors from Texas, too.
We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary by going to another wedding (it'll be easy to remember their anniversary!).
Since we decided we're not moving, all the things that we put off doing had to be done. We did boring things like replace the water heater (ka-ching), the dishwasher (ka-ching), and then we also had to cut down a giant dying tree in the back yard (ka-CHING!).
We celebrated my birthday by having Bella Nashville Pizza at the nearby Nashville Farmer's Market. It was muy delicioso. The weather was relatively nice ("hot", as opposed to "face-melting") so we ate outside at the Bicentennial Mall. I noted a fellow park reveler enjoying the day in a hammock. Filing that idea away for later.
It still feels like we're very much underwater with the new baby. Hopefully we'll start catching up on sleep in a decade or two. R is constantly surrounded by sisters that talk, sing, coo, and touch her head. It's amazing she ever sleeps at all.
We have harvested cucumbers and hakurei turnips. Sugar snap peas are pretty much done. The tomatoes are not yet ripe and the corn won't be ready for a few more weeks. Blackberries are just starting to turn. We have a little blueberry-feind that cleans off the bushes before anything gets properly ripe so while I assume we've gotten some blueberries I haven't any evidence to confirm that.
The early summer weather has been pleasantly mild, lending itself to playing outside and laying about in hammocks.
