Growing Like Weeds

This week we took a few hours on Saturday and worked it our garden. We cleared a bunch of weeds and readied the ground for seeds. Then, we planted onions, squash, and carrots. Later we will plant peas and beans. We are quite new to the whole gardening thing, but I don't expect it to be to hard, I mean we do live in paradise.

Also, in other news Ellie continues to grow each and everyday. She is able to understand sentences that we tell her, and is almost running. She also has a great love of music. Last night Jenn had to go to a meeting, and while she was away I had some music on. Ellie and I danced, jumped, and twisted to the beat. Every time a new song would come on she would get super excited and dance a little more. It is strange to think about how much she has grown. I put to pictures of the blog so you could see the difference. I hope we all try and slow down our lives and not crowd out the really important things.

Best,

JEM

From Paradise to Paradise

Well, we are back from one paradise and have come home to another. We loved our time in Hawaii, and already miss it. We got to visit diamond head, pearl harbor, a macadamia nut farm, and a light house.

Now we are back in the swing of things in San Diego. Ellie continues to grow. Just yesterday Jenn couldn't find Ellie's shoes, and she asked Ellie where they were. Ellie didn't seem to understand, but she walked into the bathroom and came out with her shoes. She put the shoes in front of Jenn and said, "shoes." Pretty cool.

Also, last week we went to Sea World, and here is a movie for your entertainment.

Love,

JEM
