Farm

Here it is, our afternoon out at the farm. Let me tell you I am so excited for Ellen, Eric and Leo. They are growing tomatoes to sell at the St. Paul Farmers market. Last year Ellen had planted a large garden just for the family. This year it is, to market to market! Anyhow I am really proud of her because really this is her dream and it is amazing to see people tackle their dreams. So with out further ado, here is a little photo tour.

Tractor rides and grass clipping piles and the makings of good friendships between 2 and half year olds!

Squash blooms

"We cute and we know it."

The garden is bigger than this picture, but just for you information there are 8 or 9 rows of tomatoes!

working on it

Things are settling down around here. The porch is getting finished, I am planning our veggie garden and library. I am so excited to growing some of our own veggies. And having a space to study. How did these plans come about you ask? Don't you all have a 5 week old baby? Why yes we do and who told you we have plans around this house.

Anyhow this post is to say that we are well and working like busy bees. I plan on posting some pictures of milli as soon as, I get to the desktop vs the laptop. But alas the desktop moved to the basement and it is still chilly down there. But right now I am enjoying a sweet baby sleeping in my lap and dreaming up home plans and making plans for the summer, both upcoming post for this little log of our lives.

Until that day adios and happy cinco de mayo

1. Baby Vega 2!
2. The digging of the basement has started. I was down there last night showing ellen Luis's and my dad's handy work and could not believe how low it all felt. Like I was in a normal sized room!
This picture shows the little bit that has left to be dug out and how much they have dug!

Matias is looking a little overwhelmed by it all. And not taking pictures anymore.

PS. Congrats to the Quickert's who welcomed their new daughter into their lives!

Home Sick

I am home sick today. Luis let me sleep away the morning and this afternoon Matias and I have caught up with our Daytime TV. We do love our Rachel Ray. Beside listening to MPR on the couch and hoping Matias will be ok, I have not felt this lousy in a long time. My throat yesterday hurt so bad I ended up crying, 3 days of burning would get to anyone right? Luis my hero saved me, I knew there was a reason I married a man. Apparently if you juice a lime, mix it with a lot of honey and heat it up in the microwave, you can cure your wife tears.

In truth it really worked!!! My throat felt better right away and I started to cough. Wow. So I gradually getting better. Matias thinks my voice is hilarious and is having fun bring me all sorts of weird things on the couch. What a guy :)

Maitas just brought me a can of pledge...I better go and make sure he is not swallowing any chemicals
