We'll start out here with a cookout for our circuit. Ruth is Evangeline's best friend.
 |
| I added a rail on the treehouse, as well as a pulley and bucket. Jayla and Kaylie came over and helped us test all of it out. Irene wanted to make sure the swing still works, which of course only is possible in a diaper. They are Evangeline's best friends. |
 |
| We went downtown for a new street thing. It was a good idea, but was missing a certain something. That certain something might have to do with having less basketballs intersecting with cups of wine. I don't know where she learned this crazy leg dance, but I like it. |
And den we went to Ooltewah. We had a real nice time there. It was pretty great. The kids got to adore Baba all day long and Evangeline got to make cupcakes and ice cream.
 |
| Icing a gigantic cupcake. |
 |
| I think the kids immersed themselves in fountains both days we were there. Irene pretty much follows Evangeline around and does whatever she does. |
 |
| Ellee is down there somewhere. |
 |
| my fishing pole |
 |
| Baba plays the tin whistle for the wee girls on the porch. |
And then we came home. The girls were super good on the drive. Which is good.
 |
| And then we found this in the garden today with two of her siblings. Oh my. Can I bring myself to keep them and eat them when Ellee and kids are in Alaska? |
 |
| The eye of the storm. |
 |
| Who abandoned their pacifier by the strawberries? |
 |
| Hugelkultur mania! Ronde de Nice and jalapenos are growing like crazy. We're in for some hot squash sometime soon. |
 |
| Practically Eden |
Rumor has it ......the great grands are checking out the blog even though that Windows 8 is the first hurdle. Don't expect comments from them, but let me tell you; it was really cool to hear my mom talk about looking at the pictures of the little girls! It's working! Thanks for the update....sure enjoyed the visit!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a good time was had at home and away. Its nice that Evangeline has so many BFF, and that she is such a great role model for Irene.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the many lovely pictures.
Grandma and PopPop are excitedly waiting to see those darling girls.
(Hopefully the onslaught of mosquitos will be over by then)
Needs more woodchips for Eden status.
ReplyDeleteWe love all of the pictures, but Uncle Jim especially appreciates your homage, with the Jimmy Leg, Evangeline.
