Plums and other updates from our house...

9-16-08
The cute house we are renting has several fruit trees and a grape vine. I got adventurous and decided to try making my own grape juice, and some plum jam. It turned out really yummy! Tate had a great time helping me pick the plums. He kept going one step higher on the ladder, then he would tell me "it's okay Mommy, I'm a really brave guy." It was cute!


Max has learned a whole bunch of new tricks now that he is mobile. His favorite is to climb! He was pretty proud of himself when he made this drawer a stair!
Oh my, bet you can't tell we're ever silly at our house!Tate has decided that his "most favoritest" thing is to play this little guitar we bought for him in Puerto Vallarta. He loves to rock out in his bedroom while jumping on his bed!

The library by our house had a pajama story party last night. All of the kids came in their PJ's for songs and stories. It was really fun!

What a fun post! I love Max on the drawer! That could be right out of my house, as Henry loves the same things. What a fun library too! I really enjoyed seeing little bits of your house. Way to go with the plums and grapes.

I can't believe that Max is big enough to be climbing in drawers! Good job on the jam and juice - what an accomplishment! Sure you hope guys are doing well!

My mother in law has grapes and whenever we can take some grapes I LOVE to can grape juice! It is So much better than the stuff from the store.

Way cute pictures of the kids. Sarah isn't into climbing...yet.
