Visiting Grandparents

Last Monday we went to Massachusetts to visit all of the grandparents. Everyone is doing well and we had a wonderful time.

Rhubbarb Jam

We bought and planted rhubbarb last week and then read that you can't pick it till the second year. So, some friends gave us some rhubbarb. Jeremiah tasted it and as you can see it was very sour. He then dipped it in sugar and it was much better. We made strawberry-rhubbarb jam and raspberry-rhubbarb jam, yummy.

Fishing

The boys went fishing yesterday. They caught 4 fish. We had them for dinner!

"No More Paper Route" Party

Tonight after church we had a "No More Paper Route" party. We celebrated with paper hats, stickers, paper-route decorations and of course, food. We all had a great time. We are so thankful, that after 6 years of doing the paper route (at 1:30am) that it is finally DONE. Praise God for that.
