Bountiful Garden

Today we had a very busy day.  This morning we went to the Little Gym.  It was bring a friend day so we asked our neighbors grandchildren if they would like to join us.  Anja and Nora are 6 and 3 and they have spent the last 2 weeks in Minnesota visiting their Grandma and Grandpa.  We were delighted that they could join us in the fun at Little Gym.  While the girls played, it was fun catching up with their parents, Katie and Pat.  It will be sad to see them head back home to Nashville tomorrow morning.

After lunch we went and saw Dr. Daniels for Katie and Allie's 4 year old checkup.  We have always been about 3 months behind in our doctor visits, due to the timing of bringing them home from Michigan.  I would have to say that this was the most delightful doctor's appointment that we have ever had!  Katie and Allie really turned on the charm, were super cooperative, never cried and basically laughed and giggled the entire visit.  They enjoyed doing tricks for her like jumping jacks, standing on 1 foot, counting to 30, counting in 10's to 100, spelling their names for her and just being very cute.  I love Dr. Daniels and love how she just really seems interested and concerned about my girls.  She complimented the girls and said that she feels they could go to kindergarten this year.  She also mentioned that she could tell that I have spent a lot of time with my girls.  Allie is one inch taller than Katie (38 inches compared to 37 inches) and Katie weighs 1/2 pound more than Allie.  All in all it was a great visit!

When we got home we picked some produce from my bountiful garden.  Today we picked some summer squash, cucumbers, pea pods and green beans.  It is so much fun to share the love of gardening with my little angels.  They both were so excited to help me pick green beans and squash.  I hope they will always share this love with me.
