Summertime Around the House

As a bonus blog post this week, I'm catching up on some pictures around the house highlighting some fun new developments from the boys.

As he gains strength to sit up, Archer is really starting to enjoy the Bumbo.

Archer appreciates being a part of the action, even if it's just sitting nearby on the counter.

TJ's favorite game lately involves stacking dice into towers and knocking them down.

Archer and Raminta enjoy some quality time in the back yard hammock. (Thanks, Carrie & Amanda!)

Blueberries in July

We've ignited an annual U-pick tradition this summer, starting with strawberries in June. In July, we entered blueberry season and found a wonderful organic blueberry farm in Sherwood. We can't say enough good things about Blueberry Ridge Farm (www.blueberries4you.com). The fact that we went two consecutive weekends (once alone and once with our neighbors, the Epsteins) might be proof enough that we're fans. We're also fans of the 50 pounds of blueberries that now call our freezer home.

TJ trains up on lawn mowing techniques.
