Not much to say. Actually I can't think of anything to even write about. Andrew still has bible school. The last night is Thursday. I'm so thankful that he stays and doesn't get upset when we leave him. Each night we go at 8 so we can see the last half hour while they are doing their worship and watch the video and he looks for us to make sure we are there. Once he sees us he just turns around and listens. Such a change from last year when he was 3. He would cry when he saw us and wanted to sit with us instead of his class. In fact, his daddy couldn't even take him b/c Andrew would cry when he left. This year David took him the first night and he was fine. So proud of him for being a big boy. Grace had a hard time leaving him on Monday night but last night she didn't mind. She misses him a lot though. She acts so different when he isn't around. This morning Andrew slept in until 10 am so it was just Grace and mommy. She was really good and loving but as soon as Andrew woke up she turned so mean. She wanted to sit right next to him and when he would move or protest, she sat on top of him. She is always trying to get in his way of whatever he is doing or takes his cars when he lines them up. Yesterday she kept getting in front of the tv b/c she knew it upset him. Maybe she isn't being mean but she's definitely being a 2 year old. Poor Andrew. We told him to be nice to her when she was a baby because she would grow up and learn to fight back. Her newest defense (or just for fun) is pulling his hair or biting. Just another phase to go through.

I've been getting so many tomatoes. In fact today, I picked 73 cherry tomatoes and most of them came from one plant. I found one pumpkin that is already getting big and quite a few others that are beginning to grow. The onions are almost ready and on Sunday I picked about 2o green peppers. Some I had to throw out b/c they had a lot of bad spots. I would have kept them and just cut around all the spots but I had so many that I didn't need to. Oh, and when we get back from our Vegas trip the first week of August we will have grapes that will be ready to eat. So exciting!!!

Have a blessed day!

  1. Hi Melissa, Your garden is doing great. I have alot of green tomatoes and a few just starting to turn red. I have alot of ears of corn,but only 2 that were ready so far. I have had a few cucumbers and green beans and enough zuchini to fry and give away. I picked blackberries twice at my son Greg's house. They were delicious. There is nothing better than growing your own garden. -Hope it is alittle cooler there. It is 71 here and really nice. If it stays cool, it will be chili soup weather tomorrow. The surprise pink lillies are popping up in the front yard and blue flowers in the garden that usually do not appear until Fall. We are having very unusual weather. We are not complaining though. --Andrew is growing up --I remember when I was a little girl, I use to get into my brother's toys under the dresser. That is just a sister thing. (LOL) --Have a great day tomorrow.Love,Kathy

  2. Sounds like a brother/sister thing! Think Andrew will ever play with dolls to keep Grace from throwing a fit?! I remember another Big Brother that did! lol
    Need to break her of the biting and hair pulling. If Andrew has to play nice, so does she!
    Love, Papa Rick
