The garden hasn't gone away

It is harvest time and we've got a new baby! Ive got tomatoes out the wazoo, buckets of tomatillos, and a whole ton of corn (I planted it late, so its perfect now).  I've canned tomatoes twice now.  Mom and Grandma came up to help the first time, Eric took care of Aven the second time. Not the best year for tomatoes, but with 4 San Marzano plants, I'm doing pretty good.  We made a roasted tomatillo salsa with those, and green corn tamales (casserole, not individual tamales.  I'm not superwoman here).  So, kind of on top of things.  Kind of.

Aven will enjoy this stuff, someday.  Just not yet.

Give me milk!

first week home

We spent the first week home just the three of us (or seven if you count the animals, which unfortunately you kind of have to)

Meeting the cats

Look at that hair!

Almost naked

The pets have been super cuddly

Isn't she sweet?

Ha!

EV is a bit jealous

Is it wrong of me that I find this adorable?

hmmmm?

EV cuddles?

One of my favorite pictures

Trying to get some work done so I can jump right into teaching.  I'm missing the first week so I can stay home with Aven, but Eric is taking over after that and I'm headed right back to work... ugh

This is what work looked like

Seriously EV?

Yeah, you have to count the animals

Isn't that face adorable?

Maybe more traditionally so here

No sleep, but sooooo in love
