Catching up: September

first day of pre-school!

Tomato-tasting at Seed Savers Exchange; unfortunately, it was so well-attended that we didn't want to stand in line, so . . .

M hung out in the sandbox, and I just hung out!





can't resist showing off my handiwork (the nightgown)

a visit from a friend and former co-worker

our neighborhood was briefly visited/occupied by a Cooper's Hawk, which didn't seem to be able to fly very well

he eventually flew away

Okay, maybe blogging is not going to be my thing! At this point, I'll just try to do monthly updates . . . . Here's August: an impromptu picnic, the quilt top I threw together (no more progress at this point).

















Later in August, we traveled to St. Louis, and met up with three of the families we were with three years ago in China:

At the St. Louis Zoo

M was supposed to start pre-school on Aug. 31, but we learned the previous day that she tested positive for strep, so she had to miss her first day!
