Canning




Last week I canned apples- ended up with 15 quarts of apple pie filling and 15 pints and 2 quarts of apple butter. The boys were great helpers with peeling the apples. We had fun working together.

This week I am doing pears. Today I got 12 jelly jars and 1 pint of pear butter. This is all hard work I never realized the work involved in all this, but we will enjoy the benefits of this all winter. Here is a pic of the finished work. And Gracie while I was canning.

Silly Boys




I knew this was coming. I turned around yesterday and Jonathan was nursing his baby doll. He had his little shirt lifted up and holding his baby on a pillow like I do with Gracie. SO of course Jeremiah had to do it too. Then he continued to say " my baby ain't dripping on me " .. They are so funny you never know what is going to come out of there mouth. I LOVE IT !!!

Update

Hello !!

Sorry for the lack of updates. Things have been a little crazy.
The last week and a half Jonathan has been delaing with a really bad ear infection so we have been dealing with that he has been miserable and just wants mommy to hold him. I dont think I have seen in him in such pain. But he is finally getting better.
Gracie is doing great, she is getting fat. We went back for her 4 week checkup and she is 8 lbs 15 oz so 2 pounds in 2 weeks ! She is such a good baby and alert we are all having so much fun with her. The boys just love her. When they talk to her they talk in that baby voice it is so sweet.
We had our first MOPS-mothers of preschoolers meeting today. It is just a chance for moms to get together and have mommy time! Which is great ,the boys go to a little class. Last year they hated it and screamed so I was so nervous today but they loved it and did wonderful . They are still talking about class.
We are also canning Apple Butter, Sauce and pie filling this week. We all went as a family last night and picked apples down the road. So I am up to my ears in apples, but it will be worth all the work to have all the yummy stuff.
I will post new pics soon I promise.
