Watch out, Aunt Laura!

Carolyn: I got married today.

Me: Oh? to who?

Carolyn: Uncle Joseph.

These shoes aren't made for walkin'

These are Carolyn's new shoes of choice.

This is what happens when she tries to walk in them.

Little Mommy

We have recently added a third "child" to our family. After 18 months, bitty baby got a name. Ruthie. And she goes with us everywhere! As you can see, Carolyn has holding a baby down pat. You give them some booty support and hold the leg. She also puts her baby down for naps and gets her up after about twenty minutes. Ruthie cries for her mommy and only wants Carolyn. It's been nice because this new diversion gives Blake a little more space, but Carolyn is starting to do everything one-armed so she can be attached at the hip to Ruthie.

My secret garden

Our back yard consists of bark dust and weeds. Every couple weeks, I go out and pull all the weeds I can find.

Today I found pea plants scattered in different locations throughout my yard. I probably pulled out eight total. That made me a little sad because I love fresh peas. While my soil is probably not the most nutritious, I would have maybe tried to nurture them to see if any thing would grow past an inch. All of these plants had the tiniest, old pea pods ever.

Then I went to the side of our house and found this:

Not a big deal, a little larger than your average weed, but still easily pullable.

But take a closer look:
Yup, that's a sprouted walnut. I found four of these. Four.

To whoever is throwing walnuts in my yard--

Please stop. Thank you.

I'm a sitting man!

Twinners

Carolyn picked these jammies out all on her own. Her daddy was so proud.
