what summer brought

So you see below the fruits of the season, har har, and the boys growing and changing. Milo is talking a lot more, and turns TWO years old this week. They amaze and amuse us constantly.
They're racing in a fast car with helmets on there, in that picture, one morning with George. Not to mention the strawberry inspired art while I was jamming a dozen (YEAH) half pints of monroe goodness.
School is screeching back into high gear, so what am i doing? well, recording our new chickens etc. Only fitting, right?

I realized I need to put a new section on the side, Boy books. It's my new thing. Now what to do with these boys, now that babyhood is fast slipping away? how can that already be happening? Milo is in underpants full time, Goodbye diapers! that was really fast. How amazingly speedy.

We have four new hens at our house, and they deliver fresh eggs almost every day. Cabot would like to have a few minutes alone with them, so that he could DEVOUR them, but Rowan is so worried about it, it'll never happen.

Our garden is going gangbusters after miraculously avoiding all the hailstorms, and soaking up our rainy june. Too bad I planted so poorly, no beans came up, and the peas didn't even go in until after mothers day. oh well. next year. next year it's gonna be HUGE! next year we will be humming a graduation tune for me, and looking around at kindergarten for Rowan. *shudder*

I think I'll enjoy the now. now... now... !

Happy Birthday to that sweet, beautiful Milo!! And yes please, share the boy book recommendations! I've looked around for Misreading Masculinity but will have to special order it. Right now, Caleb is loving most: Where the Wild Things Are, Giraffes Can't Dance, Oh Say Can You Say Di-no-saur, and The Wolf Who Cried Boy.

Happy Birthday to your boy Milo and to you! Would love to see your boys reading list as well. Should have looked at that before sending what I did to Milo. Hope he likes it! :) Love, Christie and Co.
