Babies

We are the proud parents of some new babies. No not exactly the cute, cuddly, pinch their little cheeks kind. No no. We have veggie babies. Ok eat your hearts out Ketchikanians. It is May 18th and we have baby zucchinis, tomatoes, strawberries and lettuce. The amazing thing is that I have not had to fight the slugs for them either. The pumpkin plants are looking fabulous as well as the peppers. Some of our seeds were a little displaced a couple of weeks ago with our huge storm but some survived. Other things like the garlic and onions were a little displaced but are also coming along. We are excited about our gardening efforts. I can't say as I have ever grown a pumpkin in my life so the prospect is kind of like expecting a baby I suppose. We will keep you updated on the "nursery" here.
The real kids are growing like little weeds as well. Kyran recovered from his surgery beautifully and seems to be healthy and his eyes seems to sparkle more than before. He loves to help water plants and he like to cook. Kegan is "happy go lucky" and marches to his own beat. Kaylin is losing the baby look and turning into a little girl. She loves to sing happy birthday but she only knows the one line so far. They all love the water and play in their little pool often on our hot days. They also like to play with bugs and try to catch butterflies. Of course we are all missing the Army guy but we try to keep order as best we can. We manage to keep busy without any trouble. Oh and by the way, the mosquitoes are terrible down here and we get dive bombed by June bugs if you leave the porch light on. I guess you take the good with the bad as it is any place you live.
