Life....

So we have been pretty busy, but enjoying life. This is sort of long and mostly for me so when I finally catch up scrapbooking I can remember why, where, what and who about the pictures and life during this time. Here are some snapshots of what we have been up to... We have gone to the park a few times.  Here are some pictures Tyler took while we were there one time.  Tyler was pushing Clark so high the chains would go slack and Clark just loved it!  I was a little nervous but I guess that's what moms are for.  In one picture is a little boy next door that we babysat which is something I am doing regularly.  Addison loves having the playmates and Clark is ok with it.  I wouldn't go so far as to say love but he does pretty good sharing and getting along.  Of course we had to get Clark with his blanket.  He is a regular Linus... That is what he really should be for Halloween.  Kaylee has been smiling for over a month now! Wow... time goes by so fast.  I just want to eat her up she is so adorable.  I don't want to her grow so fast.  She is almost out of her 0-3 month clothes!  At her 2 month check up (she was actually 2 and 1/2months) she was 15 pounds and almost 25 inches long which puts her in the greater than 95% for both height and weight. We also went to the Jr high down the road that has an awesome hill for rolling and running up and down to wear out the kids one Sunday afternoon.  The last pictures are of the kids "helping" make applesauce.  We have bottled a lot of fruit this year.  Thanks to friends that have donated apples to us. :)  We have done around 24 quarts of pears, 15 quarts and 7 pints of peaches, 12 pints of salsa, and 33 quarts of applesauce.  We also have more tomatoes in the garden for salsa and I will try my hand at spaghetti sauce if the weather stays good enough to get us more tomatoes. I have really enjoyed canning.  It's a great satisfaction at the end of the day to see the jars lined up on the counter knowing the work that went into it.  The kids are already downing the applesauce. Life isn't easy or perfect but it is good.  The Lord has been watching over our little family and I feel very blessed.  I know that God does love me and my sweet husband who puts up with all my shortcomings as well as each of my children.
