My Garden

I have been wanting to plant a small garden for years, but I have never had a backyard to be able to do it.  Now that we do have a backyard I took the plunge!  It has been very profitable too.  I have squash, zucchini, green peppers, cucumber and tomatoes.

I have already harvested a lot of zucchini, squash and cucumber. Mmmm.  The green peppers are just beginning to bloom and the tomatoes are mostly green still.  I did have one tomato about ready to pick so I gave it one more day.  I went out to get the first red tomato and it was gone!  We have a lot of deer and rabbits around and I guess they were waiting for the perfect timing too!

Here are a few pictures as proof!

Its a pretty small garden, but is more than enough for us.  We have been able to give vegetables away too.

Couldn't wait to taste the first harvest!  (FYI - Zucchini tastes better cooked.)

Free Stuff!

A friend of mine (Sydney) that goes to church with me found me all kinds of free baby stuff.  She babysat for this couple that is moving to CA and they were getting rid of all kinds of things.  Thankfully Sydney threw out my name when the lady asked if she knew anyone who needed a crib.  She gave me the crib and then offered me all kinds of other things!  What a blessing! The best part is all the furniture is white - the exact color I wanted!  Here are some photos of everything. Its a mess, but I have already organized it all and put together some of the stuff for the baby's room.

There was a play mat, car seat bundler, bedding and tons of clothes!

Hamper, boppy pillow with cover, exersaucer, and toddler car.

Crib and changing table.  (The table is missing a lot of parts.)

Chest of drawers.  I don't really have room for a changing table and this chest will double as a changing table.  My in-laws may take it and try to fix it.

Toy chest.  There is also a rocker in the back.  I got it at Goodwill and painted it white.  It needs to be recovered still.

Picture of my living room packed with all the stuff!  It was a blessing!

 The last two are of me... getting a lot bigger!  These pictures were at 26 almost 27 weeks.

First Post!

I have decided our family needs a blog! (Everyone is doing it... )
It will be easier to share info all at once with whoever finds our lives interesting enough to follow.

Also... since we are expecting our first child in October I can share all the fun tidbits with family and friends!
