Stubbs Bay

Last Sunday we did (sans Jackson - thanks Grandma & Grandpa!) a 51.58 mile bike ride. With 40 mile per hour winds, about 20 miles of it on crushed limestone. Enjoyable, would have been better without the wind!

Jack's Colander

Jack found many uses for an extra colander on Sunday. Drum, step-stool, rolling pin, tambourine...

Sunday

Sunday: We had coffee and sweets with dear friends. Then we came home and thought - why not try pickles? Sure, why not? Then came pasta sauce...and a mess...and a hot kitchen...but the house smelled incredible and the  sauce turned out amazing. The pickles TBD - can be tasted mid-September.

Schwinn

Jack rode a big wheel at the gym Thursday

Brandon bought Jack the Schwinn trike he has been lusting over since I first got pregnant Thursday  night

THE BELL!

Safe to say he enjoys it!
