the bull and the diapers

Did I mention we live in the country?

Flippy Friday

Hope you had a flippy day :)

Photos of the week (well 2 weeks ago anyway)

We finally got the attachment for Liam's stroller, so that Liam's stroller adventures could also include Ava while she is visiting. The pictures explain themselves :)

Too bad they don't make tractors with double seats too

Oh Mr. Independence, please stop growing up so fast...

Liam helping around the house

Liam loves to help out around the house. Just the other day he decided to give my cell phone a bath by dipping it into the front end of his tractor which was full of water. Luckily the phone was saved and is usable again.

Last week Liam and I stumbled upon a sale in Whimsies and found an organic cotton shirt with a tractor on it, double score. When we got home Liam decided he wanted to help out by washing it for me... in Jasper's water bowl. It is about time that that boy started helping out around the house.

Farm time

Aunt Lois and the rest of her Maine family made their annual trip down to the farm this month which gave us lots of opportunities to visit with her, Gary and the family and to hang at the farm. We only get to see them once a year so we made three trips over to the farm for visits during their two week stay. I even went to King's Dominion with Julian and Melissa and their kids and Allen, although sadly got no photos of the day, but we had a fabulous time.

Farm time in July involves hanging on the porch, rocking and reading or listening to the crickets, long walks and playing in the water. Liam got lots of creek time, which thankfully had some water in it, despite being completely dry earlier this summer.

While, I don't seem to have gotten any photos of any of the adults, I did manage to get a couple of the kids and the others I have taken courtesy of Lois's facebook page. Enjoy :)

Videlia, Rosie and George

Sweet baby George, who by the way, Liam loved to look at,

but definitely did not like his Mother holding!
