Summer is flying by! I can't believe its the middle of July. Here's what we've been up to:
Apricots.....
 |
| Apricots all from my 2 trees.. |
...Out of our ears I tell you! We didn't get the big around to pruning our 2 Apricot trees and there is SO much fruit! My in-laws spent 3 hours this week picking these beauties, and the tree still looks full! We spent the next few days making jam and juice. We ended up canning 140 jars of delectable jam! And around 30 jars of juice. I feel so domestic! This was my first canning experience and I'll be the first to say canning is not easy! But its worth the hard work. Thanks Ann, Alex, and Liz or all of your help! With the rest of the fruit I will be making dry apricots and fruit leather. FYI, it takes 20 hours to dry apricots..who knew?

Our apples are growing! We did prune this tree so we should have a "do-able"amount of Apples, can't wait until they are done!

Garden.....

| Garden 7/13 |
We have got 3 zucchinis out of it so far! SO yummy! And everything is growing nicely. We have only lost 2 tomato plants to the hose. No raccoons!! I think the hawk scared them off ;)
(If you look closely you can see that our apricot tree is full and ready for the second round of picking, I already feel like I need a nap just thinking about it)

| Zucchini! I think I'll bake bread. |
And now on to the less boring stuff! BABY BUMP!

| 25 weeks and 6 days |
I am 25 almost 26 weeks along! 3 months to go! Grow baby grow! I LOVE that my belly is getting bigger. I can feel him kick and move everyday now. One thing thats new this week is he will push up against my stomach and it will go lopsided and I can FEEL HIM! Like his butt or head or something. Its the craziest feeling! It makes me so excited! I am only 2 weeks away from my third trimester! Can I get a HIP HIP HORRAY!?
I have not quite started on the nursery yet. I have a crib, rocker, armoire (it just took me a full minute to figure out how to spell that), and fabric for the sheets. I can not decide what color to paint the wall! I am having a complex. The sheets are cream background with Navy blue bikes.. I am in love. But I do not want navy blue walls and I especially do not want tan or neutral walls (its a nursery not a living room), and no gray (my kitchen and bedroom are gray). So I have considered doing baton board on the bottom half and mustard yellow on the top half. I don't know.. any suggestions are welcome!
