We love strawberries!

This year, we had the opportunity to go strawberry picking! James loved it!
Here we are at the strawberry farm. It was very muddy- due to all the rain!

James helped me make strawberry freezer jam (the little jars stacked on the table). He was a great masher and stirrer! Then, I attempted to try a family recipe for strawberry rhubarb pie since that's Larry's favorite kind of pie! It turned out pretty well!

Easter 2009




We had a great Easter, this year! Larry and I had a great time sharing our Easter traditions with James! Here James and I are sitting in our front yard after we found the plastic eggs Larry hid for us! James caught on quickly and found almost all of them by himself!







It was great watching him color eggs! We couldn't help laughing to ourselves when he'd drop the eggs from his spoon. This poor yellow egg had multiple concusions!




The Easter Bunny hid James' basket in one of the lower kitchen cabinets! He loved eating his chocolate eggs and was excited for his new and 1st CD- "Veggie Tales' Greatest Hits!" Now he can hear the "His Cheesburger" song sung by "Mr. Lunt" as often as he wants when I set it to "repeat". Youtube, our DVD player, and mommy can finally get a break for a while!
Our roll of film ran out--so the rest of our Easter pictures are on the new roll of film--Oh the drag of not having a digital camera! We'll post them as soon as we can!
