I need to get my (blogging) act together

It seems like the last four weeks have just gone by so quickly since the baby's been born! That's probably because I've been really occupied with enjoying our newborn and also with concentrating on getting through our days successfully and at least somewhat productively. I've been trying, quite unsucessfully, to fit in blog reading and writing; I feel like there's a bunch I've missed and that it would take pages and hours to get it all into words. I was just going over some pictures from over the last month that Lance just uploaded and thought that, at least in part, I'd let the pictures do the talking.

We celebrated our seventh anniversary on the first of this month. It seems like every blog writer that I read also celebrated their anniversary this month! I guess June really is the month of weddings. Congratulations to everyone who marked another year of wedded bliss this month! Here's us on our day.



This picture is quite an accurate depiction of how I've been spending most of my time in the past month. ;)



So is this one. If I had a breastfeeding picture to post, that would about cover it! :)




Baby's first real bath. He really seemed to enjoy it and didn't fuss at all. Let's hope the baptism tomorrow goes as well!




A fun parade day we had earlier in the month.


A graduation party for my cousin that we attended on Father's day.

Strawberry Season! This little boy has all the stains to prove it! For simplicity's sake we got ten quarts from an amish family and processed those. Two batches of freezer jam, one pie, one quart left out for eating, (only) three bags of sliced and sugared berries for the freezer, and the rest were sliced and sugared in the fridge for eating fresh on cereal and ice cream. We're still hoping to get some more for putting in the freezer, another pie, and some more for eating fresh. We're hoping to take the kids picking for that second batch, so we'll see if we make it out before the season's over with---and if we do, how many we'll get into our buckets!
