Well, Baby Boy George #2 is growing and doing fine! Sebastian is his name, not sure of a middle name…and no, John, it will not be Sebastian Michael Jackson George In the photo that says BOY, he was sitting like he was xeroxing his butt—my little exhibitionist!
This is a foot, of which there are two…I’m not quite sure how the docs see some of these things!

Aah summer, much has been going on lately, sorta kinda. If its not 90F and stinking hot and dry, its 90F and raining an inch a day. Its been very wet so far this summer.
Alexander came out of his cast and is doing well, he bear crawls more than he walks right now, but I’m sure he’ll revert to upright at some point in his life. His birthday party went quite well, joy is still working on the video footage of that so I’ll get that to upload at some point… yeah we are quite behind on the video footage I think.
June has been a busy month, Alexanders cast removal, his birthday, Joys birthday, our anniversary and a family wedding this coming weekend.
Things were kinda hectic this past week so we didnt do much for our anniversary. This is what I got for Joy;
Its a hand made stone vase, I didnt think it would show up in time for the anniversary as it takes several weeks for it to be made, but it did, and all were happy with the result.
Joy in turn, got me that awesome chicken coop which I’m still doing the final touches on, plus she signed us both up for the motorcycle safety course, its a three day intensive course that at the end of it, if you pass, gives you your motorcycle license.
Last night we transitioned Alexander to a big boy bed, we got a full size (twin I think Joy calls it, I call it a single bed), and stuffed him in there under the covers. We actually bought bunks and the one in the photo is the top bunk since it still has rails to stop him from getting out. (We decided, even if the new baby is a girl, they will still share a room for the first 5 or so years and it will be good for them, well it remains to be seen if he will sleep through the baby crying in his room or not, when it arrives….)
The other day was also his first taste of nutella, that chocolaty spread that just seems to go everywhere
Alexanders new saying is “down chochoo” which means he wants to go to the basement and play with his birthday present
I’ll have more birthday pics when Joy is done with the video footage.
Vegetable garden wise, my peas all died a horrid death :( sigh… The strawberries are doing really well and my tomatoes currently have 30+ toms on the branches, but I dont know how many will survive the heat or the birds and insects. But I am looking forward to being able to pick a home grown tomato and eat it like an apple!
Woo-hoo! It was a tear-filled, scream-filled event, but the cast came off today! He’s already stood up (very much assisted), but we’re all thrilled! Video to follow…

Mum flew home this past Sunday, so on the Saturday night we had a cookout at our place, one of nigh on epic proportions. Many family, much food, a few flies.
I made turkey burgers and beef burgers with an ultra secret Stu recipie, we had corn out the wazoo, wonderful cranberry jello salad which is my fav, some fruit dip and lots of other goodies (lets not forget the grandma juice mmmmmmm!)
Alexander in the cast.. double leg cast to be precise. He managed to get a spiral fracture of his left femur, so they had to stick both legs in a cast to lock his injured leg from moving.
Not even two years old and already chained to the couch! lol
Eggs! YAY! OK, So I was feeding and checking on the chickens tonight when I looked in the nest box…
I saw an egg.. YAY… oh.. I see some yolk…
They had eaten it. One or all of them, and it was not a pullet egg it was a normal size nice brown egg.
I dont know if it was laid last night or during the day. Hopefully this means production will start and we will get some eggs appearing on a more consistent basis. Its also good I ran out of feed tonight as they were on grower feed (higher protein) and now I can switch to layer feed (less protein and extra oyster shell) for egg production.
YAY!! Finally the one of the chickens has decided to start paying rent.
Howdy, y’all. Been awhile, ain’t it? I guess that my new job is really takin’ it’s toll on me, my man, my youngin, and this here blog’. I’m just now gettin’ caught up with photos and this computer-thingy. Anywho, here are some photos and some stories to go ‘long with ‘em. Take a load off, you might be here awhile.
I always make up some kind of New Years resolution but they are always big and ambitious and never work out or last longer than a week, so this year I’m going small.
So, without any fanfare music in the background here is the list for 2009
* To waste as little food as possible (that means dont leave leftovers in the back of the fridge for three weeks)
* To plan meals in entire chunks like two weeks worth at one go
* Eat more vegies
* Make bread at home more often (and without the breadmachine), at least 2 or 3 times a month
