Grapes

This was about 1/4th to 1/5th of our harvest this year. I hope we get even more next year! They are concord grapes and super sweet. They have seeds, but the seeds are really good for you!  Nat and I like to freeze them and then eat them. We call them grapesicles!

What is it?

I still owe Tia a birthday cake

It was so late on Sunday might after our trip to the park that I made sundaes!  (With vegan ice cream--Tia got regular ice cream 'cause she's not a vegan and it was her birthday.)

Tia's sundae... 

Blowing out the candle!

Kira is delighted! (Yes, all that is vegan--soy whipped cream!)

Kira made this for Tia at sewing camp!

Opening presents!

The birthday girl!  

This week, the first week of school, is exhausting, I'm too tired to to label the pictures, so please add your own captions. Share in the comments if you want.

Bungee!

At the mall, they have this bungee ride. Tia has been wanting to do it for a while so for her birthday, she and Nat tried it.  They LOVED it.

 

Video coming soon! It's worth a watch!

First day photos

Tia hates pictures...

Kira, scoot closer to Natalie and act like you like her...

Bunny ears...

Hold hands and all of you act like you like each other...

Ah, the love...

We miss you Uncle Joe! Wish you were here!  Come visit, soon.

Happy birthday, Uncle Joe!

 

The past couple of years, Uncle Joe has visited us on his birthday.  This year, he's not and we miss him! We hope he can come for softball season (or sooner!)

Here are close ups on the pictures.  

 

Note the t's in their names. Also, in the top picture of the girls, you can see our calendar with Joe visiting last summer.
