our "square foot" garden

Well, it's a little bigger than a square foot but it sure has been fun getting together and planting. Here are a few pictures.

This is Aaron and Tyson making mommy's "mother's day" gift. The garden is beautiful, and the love that went into making it was amazing.

Here is a picture of the finished product, we are super proud of them.
Here is a shot of the shallow box. It holds 4 tomatoes, 2 peppers, 16 peas, 4 cucumbers, 1 pumpkin and 4 watermelons. Also, 4 experimental tomato plants that aren't looking so good at this point.

This is a shot of the deeper box. It holds 16 corn plants, 48 carrots, 48 radishes, 1 sunflower and 16 peas.

Just today when we checked the garden all our plants are thriving and up except the carrots, which we expect to pop up any day!! who knew gardening could be so fun!!! we will keep the pictures coming to update our progress.

Our Little LELU

Many of you have asked how little Leah is doing, so for you here it is! Our little LeLu is not so little she is HONKIN!! At 6 months she was over the 100% mark in height and weight. Way to go Leah. She is 7 1/2 months now and we cannot believe how time has past us by. She started crawling right around her 6 month birthday and hasn't stopped moving since. She can now pull her self up on furniture and tries to move around a little (most of the time flopping over and banging her head, lovely day!) She has four teeth, her bottom front 2 teeth and her top side teeth, what can we say, we are white trash!! She loves playing with Aaron, who bytheway relentlessly beats her. He can make her laugh and cry all in about 30 seconds time. She loves toys and playing outside, when it is not snowing or raining buckets, even then I think she would enjoy it. She loves to wake up real early and spend an hour of alone time with mom and dad in bed. BUT she has been sleeping through the night since forever so we don't mind snuggling with her in the wee hours of the morning. She LOVES LOVES LOVES food, duh she weighs a ton. She loves her sippy cup and any type of substance you can put in front of her. She loves Screaming at the top of her lungs especially at church when the music starts playing. She loves jabbering and saying DADA. Her tubes are proving to be the best thing we ever did. She hasn't had to deal with ear pain for over 4 months now and we are so happy about that. She looks darling in all her dresses and mom loves making her look like a girly girl.

That is the update about our Leah... hope you have an idea about how she is doing.
