A few people picked up on the subtle hint a the end of the apple picking post about the exciting news we have to share - we're having a baby!!
We are all absolutely thrilled about this new little one. Silas is thinking about all the things he can teach the baby and Levi is picking out names, so far his top choices are Cricket and Sweet Pea. We're all looking forward to the end of March when we'll meet this new baby!
We recently picked about 47 pounds of apples, 1 milkweed seed pod, and sling-shot 2 buckets of apples.
Beautiful, fresh, pesticide-free fruit.
Although a few weeks early this year, the trees were heavy with crisp McIntosh & Cortland apples.

Levi was busy looking for Monarch cocoons in the milkweed.
A little sling-shot fun after some hard work.
Si, putting his whole body into it...
We'll return, and get the rest next year...with some extra help.
Last night, the heavy rains from Hurricane Earl somehow sunk our motor boat. Levi & Silas found this to be very amusing and it was all fun and games until Silas ended up in the emergency room!
When Silas jumped into the boat, he cut his knee on something very sharp and needed a couple of stitches.
He was very brave and kept the ER doctor entertained as he was stitched up.
Si seems fine now and was able to walk out of the hospital himself, even though he told his nurse that he definitely needed a wheelchair. The worst part is no swimming for 11 days! Thank goodness our recent extreme heat wave is over.
