Lizzy Had pig tails yesterday! It was very cute. Though she made it very hard to take a picture of her. I took like 10, and only 2 turned out not blurry. The pig tails didn’t last long though, they came out just before we got out the door. I’m very excited to see lizzy’s hair is getting long, and we can start to do fun things with it. She saw her self in the mirror and said pretty. It was cute. She was also helping mom make dinner. She has become so helpful lately. And very sensitive. She tries so hard to make us happy by doing what’s right, and helping out.

So we went to Costco today to pick up my wife’s new pair of glasses. While my wife was trying on her glasses, I noticed that Our Lizzy had her arm around Leah while they were sitting in the shopping cart. It was the cutest thing I’ve seen Lizzy do on her own. Lizzy loves playing with Leah. Her absolute favorite thing to do is get her to laugh. I’m glad they’re best friends.

It’s been one of those long days. It started off a little too early with baby waking up at 6am. But Things went well after that. There were a few meetings at work, I ran one of them. I was pretty nervous; the meeting went pretty well. For lunch I took back the Rototiller I was borrowing from my parents, and helped get our two little ones to sleep. It’s been a fun day, but long. Our little toddler is sick with a bug, and hasn’t been feeling well all weekend. I hope she gets over it soon.

At My wife’s mom’s house she has a plant that’s know as the Snow Ball plant. The flowers look a lot like Snow balls, We had a lot of fun throwing the Snow Balls at eachther. Our little girl got pretty good at throwing them. I think we’ve decided to have one of those plants in our yards now.

I’ve finished putting together our garden boxes! They are 4 feet x 4 feet, made from left over 6 inch x 6 inch x 4 feet pressure treated beams. Not perfectly level, but it’ll get the job done.

I’m very excited to see these boxes work. One of our neighbors highly recommended the box garden approach as outlined in the book, Square Foot Garden, ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_foot_gardening ). We’ve been working really hard to deweed, and tarp the ground underneath to get these boxes ready and in place. This garden is coming together nicely. It’s our first real garden, since this is our first house. I’m really excited to start growing melons and tomatoes and grapes, oh my.
