Happy Memorial Day and a special announcement!

Hello and Happy Memorial Day!

I have been keeping a secret!  I'm ready to share now, so here we go...

...we've been gardening!


Haha, just kidding!  I mean, we've been gardening, but that's not it, as you can see! ;)


Yes, we are expecting!  This last photo above was taken a couple of weeks ago. :)  Here's the bump as of last week!


Due date is around the end of August, and we're having a little boy!  :D  We are just over the moon excited!

In case you were wanting to know more about the garden... it's doing really well!  The first photo above was taken this morning.  We're growing tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, jalapeno peppers, green bell peppers, rosemary, basil, and cilantro.  We had a few box gardens at Seth's parents' house a few summers ago, and I've just missed it so!  Our apartment community decided to build some for the residents, and we jumped at the chance to have one.

I think I am most excited (garden-wise :) ) about the zucchini!  I am hoping that all goes well.  We tried growing zucchini and yellow squash before, and they were growing so wonderfully... until they succumbed to the crazy squash bug. :(  We didn't get to this point though!


Here's another view of our garden... you can see some tomatoes!  We're pleased that everything is doing so well.


That's all for now!  Thank you for stopping by, and thank you to all of our past and present service men and women for defending our country!
