Jeremiah's Baptism

So it's been about a month since I last posted...Ooops!  It's been pretty crazy around here with lots of work in the gardens, canning, freezing, Jeremiah's baptism, apple picking at Mom and Dad's, Hanson family reunion in Valley City, John breaking his shin bone at Jake and Ruth's...

We finally finished making apple sauce out of those apples we got from Mom and Dad....40+ quarts.  We made some juice out of plums from Jake and Ruth and chokecherries from Sweet Briar.  We now have an apple press and after counting our empty quart jars, Josh is wishing we hadn't made so much chokecherry juice.

Jeremiah is growing so fast.  He his smiling and cooing now.  He's so cute!

I put more garden pics on the CSA blog.  www.logreenacrescsa.blogspot.com

Here are my pictures from the last month....

 Jeremiah's Baptism...
He woke up and started to cry when Father poured the holy water over his head and continued to cry through the rest of the baptism and pictures until we got home and he was fed.

Looks like Addy likes them!

 Josh picked apples in the loader bucket.  We got 5 paper bags, making 40+ quarts of sauce (we had eaten a few quarts by the time we were finished making it).

 Johnny's broken leg...
John jumped off a little tikes slide at Jake and Ruth's last Saturday.  On the third jump he landed just right to break his shin bone.  The ironic part was that he had been playing, falling and jumping off the big playground all day at the family reunion.  He had it ruff right away with pain and allergy to the codeine.  He's getting his permanent cast tomorrow and he's doing fairly well scooting around on his butt.

Sad Johnny and happy Lu Lu...She wanted a pillow for her legs too.

Jeremiah...He was done smiling by the time I got the camera out.

Josh and Lu in the rain

We went out to pick cucs and beans and got a tiny rainstorm come through before we were done.  It was crazy.  We (all except Jeremiah) were all soaked by the time we got to the house.

We got 1 1/4 inches of rain yesterday.  The gardens are going to love it!
