After this post I should finally be caught up!
A picture of our pickling cucumbers...the ones that still look ok.This has been a horrible summer for a garden. It has not gotten hot enough, nor humid enough. Shane was able to pick some cucumbers today, and we should have more ready by next weekend and should be able to can a batch or more next weekend.
More Emma pics below. She is such a cutie, which we have always thought, but everyone else tells us the same thing all the time! Everywhere I go, people stop to tell me how cute she is, we even had a guy yell 'cute kid!' out his window driving by us on a walk last week, and today in church while Shane was walking out (Emma and I were in the 'cry room') a couple stopped and told him that his baby was so cute, and they had a 17 month old son they would have to set her up with in the future!
We finally got Emma's dolphin swing hung up (our $2.00 garage sale find). She cried the first time we put her in it, and now loves it!
Last weekend, we had supper at the Grimm's on Friday night and enjoyed good food and good conversation. Lynette and Brad have 2 girls, Alaina (2 1/2) and Emmy (1), and just found out they are expecting a new baby on Feb. 26th - Congratulations Grimms!
Saturday, we had our annual park picnic with our monthly bible study group. This time we met at Shady Creek, when we were driving in, I told Shane to look at this rolling black smoke coming off the water and as we got closer, sure enough a jet ski was on fire!
The jet ski had just blown up minutes before we arrived, and about 15 minutes later the firetrucks and police showed up.
What a charred jet ski looks like.After the excitement of that died down, we enjoyed games, good food, friends, and beautiful weather!

This weekend, we just did some stuff around the house. Yesterday, we did a little shopping for Shane...everything he owns has holes in them! So we managed to find him a belt, 2 pairs of jeans, 1 pair of shorts, underwear, socks and a new pair of shoes in less than 2 hours, 2 stores and $120.00! He should be set for 5 years!
Today, we went to church then had brunch at the Muscatine Family Restaurant and enjoyed really good omelets! Shane just got done mowing the lawn and I have been sewing. I have a diaper bag order to finish and ship this week, a gift to sew for friend in my moms' bible study group, and a shirt to make some alterations to. Emma is enjoying a nice and much needed nap!
Well, I think that about catches us up...for now!
