It's food time!

I would much rather eat with my hands...

even though I have pretty much mastered the use of spoons and forks.

Myers has some new favorite foods: blueberries and hummus. We went through a pound of blueberries last week alone! He also loves dipping carrots in hummus and then sucking it off.

He tried a green olives today and was not a fan. I wish I had gotten a picture of the awful face he made!

Visitng with friends

Now that summer has officially started we have been busy visiting with friends that we don't get to see very often. Yesterday we went to see Jenny, Topher and Matthew. It was the first time we got to meet Matthew (who is 7 weeks old). BUT, I didn't take a picture of him (oops)! This is a picture of Topher and Myers playing in the water table. They had a blast together!

We also got to take a walk with Leah and Cannon the other day, and we will be having a play date with our MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) friends next week. Summer is going to be a blast!

Strawberry Pickin'

I loved walking down the rows of strawberries.

Yummy strawberries! I wanted to pick up all the strawberries (even the rotten ones) and put them in the bucket.

Pictures!

Playing with wood chips at the church playground

This is my "I am about to get in trouble" face.

Playing in the dishwasher...what a trouble maker!

Georgia Renaissance Festival

Today we went to the Georgia Renaissance Festival with Ginny and Allen. We met Mother Goose and got to pet the "duck" as Myers called it. Myers also got to meet King Henry VIII. King Henry was very impressed to meet George Myers the V, but very jealous that Myers was flirting with the queen (and you know what happens when Henry VIII gets jealous!). We also got to meet the King's hunting dogs.
After meeting the King, we ate at the Peacock Tea House and watched "Tartanic" which is a group that plays bagpipe music. Myers really liked it. He danced and clapped along and shouted, "Hey" when the song called for it.
Even after all these years of visiting the Renaissance Festival I still can't talk George into dressing up!

He is Risen!

Why is it that I usually get more out of the children's sermon than anything else? Is it because I spend all day with 4 and 5 year olds so my mind works on that level most of the time? Whatever the reason is, it is the truth. During the children's sermon at church today, our preacher was telling us how in the early church there was an Easter tradition to say to one another "He is risen." and the other person would reply "He is risen indeed." They would start out speaking quielty at the beginning of the day, but by the end of the day would basically be shouting it from the roof tops, "HE IS RISEN INDEED!" So I say to you, "He is risen!"

Garden!

George is preparing the plot for garden this weekend. He is using many of his Grandfather's tools and seeds this year which will give the garden special meaning. Today, after George tilled the plot of land, we all worked to pull out the rocks and clumps of grass. Myers was having fun throwing the dirt in the bucket and digging with his new garden tools that Grandma and Grandpa got him for Easter.
