I spent the morning planting 5 cups of each in little seed trays in the green house. I will plant the garden after all the commotion settles down next week... with Tilly, our new puppy here! But not yet.

Now our house is filled with Mom, Dad, Grandpa Ed, Uncle Dan, Uncle Joel, Brother Tim, Sister Krista, Mother Alice, Aunt Agnes, Cousin Minmin... Is that all? And Tim and I of course... oh! and Sancho, the small white pile of shedding and love! More to come today! I meant to take a picture of our spaghetti feast and full table yesterday but no luck. I will try again now that we have even more family in the house!
