Ok, so it has been a while since we posted, but life has been a bit crazy for us. (As if that were NOT normal!) We have been adapting to the news that we are expecting a new Tuck in August of this year AND some medication changes that have not been very easy to adapt to. All this added to the normal "Crazy" life that we Tuck's lead, has been a bit much.
We are finally "out"with the news as a wonderfully fun April Fool's joke on our family and friends- we claimed to be having twins... but really there is just one. It was a fun way to announce this unexpected surprise that has really thrown Zane and I for a loop. I think I got around 40 emails within only a few hours- nice to know that people are interested in what is going on with us!
Our Good Friday project this year was been to get our raised beds ready for gardening this spring/summer. Zane took the day off and we got both beds built and lined.... who knew that we could only carry enough soil in the van to fill just one??? Guess we need to do more math - calculating the volume would have told us that news pretty quickly. So today, we headed back to Lowes for another load (22 bags of soil/compost/mulch/etc...) and finished filling things in. Then the fun began. We planted tomatoes, lettuce, broccoli (Karis' request), zucchini, squash, peppers, cucumbers, cilantro, basil, and thyme. I'm sure that serious gardners would tell me that my plants are too close together, but, I only have so much space to work with and I plan to have many of them trail over the sides or move upward.
Here are a few photos of the beginnings of our little veggie patch:
