Story time

In an attempt to add some structure to Avery's world, we have implemented a bedtime routine. First is bath time (Avery loudly objects at first). Then we put on lotion and night clothes. We top the evening off with a feeding and story time. Avery and I cuddle on our bed and begin reading. Buggy is usually next to join us... he curls up on the bed near the pillows. Max is next... he curls up at the foot of the bed. And so I read to all three of my boys. Its quite funny how the 4-legged children enjoy story time as well. Sometimes, we're even successful at putting Mr Avery to bed (but not always).

Garden 2005: First Plantings

So gardening has begun for 2005. With Jen and Avery looking on from a comfy lawnchair in the shade of a huge white pine, Jason sucessfully spread some composted manure on the garden, turned the soil, and planted a double row of peas. The thyme and oregano patch is already green and all cleaned up. This year, we're thinking that in addition to peas, we'll grow two varieties of tomatoes, carrots, peppers, cilantro and basil. We're thinking about trying onions or garlic again too. We're debating on whether we'll grow lettuce again. Any thoughts from our readers? This will be the first year that we can cut some asparagus from our bed, as well.

Timberrrrrrrr!!! 
This giant branch was torn off a tree along our property line, narrowly missing the neighbor's shed. We have some serious cleanup to do.

Poop Flinging Has Evolved

Do you have a neighbor that's annoying you? Is a co-worker driving you mad? Well, send them a personal message along with a box of poop.

I couldn't resist sharing this with all of you. -Jason
