Professional Sitter

I know I posted when Sophia first began to sit up. Well, now she's pretty much a pro at it. I got some really cute pictures of her yesterday, and I thought I'd share them with my readers!

She gets cuter and cuter each day. She is doing so many new things. Sitting up, rolling everywhere, eating big girl food, trying to crawl... the list goes on and on. She will turn six months old on Tuesday. We cannot believe how quickly this time has gone! Every moment with her is life's greatest blessing. She brings immeasurable joy to our lives.



Functional Landscaping

My mom is pretty brilliant. She was talking about how she would like to plant zucchini and summer squash seeds in place of landscaping this year. Andrew and I have been tearing out the previous landscaping little by little. We replaced one area with ornamental grasses, but the other area was empty. We are working toward being debt-free, so we didn't want to spend any more on landscaping this year. So, I ventured out to the good ol' Walmart & purchased two packs of seeds for around $2.

We planted them. Andrew watered them. They quickly started to grow!

We now have beautiful plants in our landscaping...

... that actually serve a purpose! This is the first veggie Andrew picked from the plants. We were able to pick three more tonight. We've already made our money back.

So, great idea, Mom! Now... if only you had done it yourself! I think we should probably do this again next year!
