Life

Sorry it has been such a long time since we've updated this...I am still getting used to the blogging idea. Anyway, the last month has been pretty busy for us. We went away for the weekend with our church on a retreat, Luke's brother and youth group came to San Francisco and we visited with them, we've been to a few birthday bashes, we went to Southern California to Gabe's baby dedication (Laura's baby), I went away for three days by myself to rest and relax (Luke was super dad), we went camping for the first time with the boys at Lake Barryessa -we'll never go there again. It was fun to go camping and swimming in the Lake, but not a fun campground and VERY expensive! And on top of all of this we're planning a big summer support raising trip through Oregon and Montana for Aug-October. So, we've been pretty busy. They boys are growing like crazy. Both of them are crawling and pulling themselves up on everything. They laugh and cry and are just the most fun boys in the world. We're loving being parents and getting to see them grow and learn every day. We are very blessed. Jake is supposed to have a catheritization some time this month. It shouldn't be a big thing, just in and out. We're waiting to hear from the Dr. to schedule. We'll let you know more as we find out. No news from the genetisist either.

Garden update:
EARWIGS! They have eaten all my seedlings...they ate my broccoli, chard, carrots, oregano, basil... but last night Jess, Mariah and I went out with flashlights and our stomping shoes and killed what seemed like thousands...they were everywhere. We're going to make it a nightly ritual. Hopefully this will get rid of the majority. I am happy though, because they have not messed with my peas or my tomatos. The tomatos are huge and I saw two little green ones yesterday.
