latest and greatest

in no particular order, here are a few things that have happened in the last month or so at the gilmore house.

gibson, all ready for her big gymnastics expo. i think she totally has the look of a gymnast.

our summer project: a garden! we got some help from my parents to get some compost dirt and then tilled it. good times. we'll definitely post as the planting progresses.

inside, peppers and tomatoes are growing strong. 5 weeks.

drew's attempt at making me a birthday cake. so sad, it tasted as bad as it looked. he didn't have eggs, baked it for a bit and then ran to the store, got eggs, added eggs to half baked cake, baked some more. hmm, didn't work so well. a simple box cake, ruined. i guess it is the thought that counts. actually the girls ate some of it.

the newest member of our family, butterscotch. no not the elephant, the dog. she is a lhasa poo and is now 5 months old. worse than a new baby, but adds lots of laughter to the family and occassionally some crying (mom, too) and maybe even a swear word or two.

the first couple of weeks were rough, but potty training, schedules, and routines are coming together as time passes. we are looking forward to an enjoyable summer.
