Right now I sit in moments of silence.. green chili chicken enchiladas are in the oven and for the second time in what seems like forever ago I am alone in the house. Jon has taken Jaecob to karate and I am not used to the silence of house and just the ticking of the oven timer! :@)
For being the middle of the week, I'd say we're doing pretty good. We're very blessed. Bre, a sister in Christ and friend from church loaned me some maternity clothes that I am getting great use out of. Jon has helped with the laundry this week and the family has managed to get to bed on schedule each night.
This past weekend Jaecob and I headed over to Papa Jon's organic farm (at his house) and picked some strawberries. After, we headed to the growers market and held hands walking up and down the aisles of the market looking at everything and pausing for more than five minutes to admire the water fountains custom made out of metal & tin that he admires so much. Each week he spends one dollar of his money earned from chores on a cookie. I think he just loves them because of their shapes. It's become a ritual now, and I know he won't want to hold my hand forever, so I cherish these moments.
After we headed downtown to do some errands and then to the Riverside Park or "Duck Park" to feed the ducks, geese and pigeons. If I have enough pictures, it's those of Jaecob outside feeding those ducks. He loves that park not only for the wildlife, but because you can watch the boats race by, the rafts head down the river and the old antique tractors in the playground.
He spent about an hour trying to get the "White Duck" to get close to him. He kept addressing it by saying "Hey White Duck...Come here please." It was cute. When it finally did get close, I was able to get a few good shots.
In that hour I was also able to admire the bee's that were on so many of the flowers and it reminded me of how I needed to follow up on the "Safe the Honey Bees" campaigns that I've lost track of for about two weeks now. I guess getting all excited for our new baby left me in my tracks with this project. If you haven't heard of it yet, or don't know what all the buzz is about you should check it out. It's one of the many reasons we started another garden this year.
