Thirty Five

Today is my 35th birthday. As usual, I got to do some things I really enjoy, like work in the yard with my boys. Jack and Ryan gave me a big stack of seed packets and new gardening gloves, so I was eager to start planning the planting.

Jack, the supervisor

Ryan helping trim branches to make pole bean teepees

Even Star came out to enjoy the early spring sunshine

and then I made some baby food for Jack:

Bananas, pears, avocados and mangoes

A fancy-pants steamer/pureer my friend Jillian loaned me

Mmm... sweet potatoes

Avocado, the perfect first food

Love those green peas!

Sam's parents and sister came over to watch the boys while we went out to dinner and saw The King's Speech, which was really good. All in all, the day passed with little fanfare, which was a-ok by me.
