We had a wonderful weekend in the Adirondacks. Unfortunately this photo shows how HUGE I've gotten being pregnant the 2nd time around. I'm only about 6 mos along and fear how much bigger I'm going to get!!

This was pretty much a bust. Now that we have cold frames, I can get a jump on planting early next spring so that these will have a long enough growing season.

Usually this kind of activity on the chair leads to a fall, thud, waaahhh, and then a nice black and blue mark on his forehead. It's tough being a little guy!

Declan is wondering if we really have to leave the park...

When I saw this Matchbox Land Rover imprinted with "Archaeologist", I just had to get it. It wasn't until I got home that I noticed the T-Rex and "Dino Search". :p
