Emma Gets a Visit

Our friends Megan and Chris came to visit us last weekend, and Emma got a visit from her buddy Lola. Here's some action shots of the girls.

And afterwards...all tuckered out.

Festive Fabric Banner

I found a tutorial for this on the Sew, Mama, Sew Blog and thought it was super awesome.  I sort of followed the instructions and sort of just went with it, resulting in (somewhat surprising, based on my limited sewing ability!) success!  However, my workmanship is definitely not the neatest, so the banner is definitely better looking from a distance than up close.  Nonetheless, I am super excited about it and I think I'll make another one to go behind it with different sized triangles. 

Blizzard of 2010!

Record Snow in Baltimore

We got the biggest snow ever this week in Baltimore. The funniest part is that it's actually snowing again right now! And we just got our cars dug out from the other snow....Emma is enjoying it though!

It has been a very long time since I posted on the blog, and it appears that is has turned into mostly a garden and food extravaganza. Our garden has exploded in the back yard, and our sunflowers and zinnias are beautiful!

CSA Basket

Here is a picture of the basket from our very first CSA pickup.

This is the list of things that was in the basket, we actually got extra too!

Gardening by the square foot

We finally finished the garden boxes in the back yard! Here they are! I will post another picture when they are filled with veggies, herbs, and flowers! It was a lot of work, probably 15 hours of total work to put them all together and fill them with dirt. We ended up getting free dirt from the landfill, which saved about $300, so that was definitely great.
