Fun in the Garden!

We have had so much fun the last few weeks being able to eat from the garden! We planted the garden hoping that something would grow and it has actually turned out really good! Lucy loves to go out and help me pull weeds and pick "salad". She's really grown up a lot since Kate was born and is a pretty big help.

I am beginning to wonder about the peas though. Are they really worth it? I mean it's great to be able to go out to the garden and have a few peas from the pod, but- I shelled peas for over half an hour the other night and ended up with this . . .

Barely enough for dinner!

Update On Our Last Six Weeks . . .

Roommate Reunion!

This past weekend we were in Utah while Nick was shoeing horses. Poor Nick was sweating away in the 100 degree heat, but the rest of us had fun. We got to see family, go to the zoo, and have a get together with old roommates.

Fun in Oregon!

Lucy, Kate, and I have been in Oregon for almost three weeks now. We came for a family reunion at the coast and redwoods and had lots of fun! It was so great to see everyone. Nick went home a week ago and is coming back this weekend to drive horses for someone at a show near Bend and will take us home. Lucy has been having a great time with Grandma & Grandpa Bailey. Kate is a great baby and has already grown tons. Here are LOTS of pictures of our trip . . .

The beautiful Oregon coast! Just a bit cold . . .

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

WE LOVE YOU!

Welcome Little Kate!

We are so excited to introduce Kate Elise Barney! She was born yesterday, June 10th at 9:42 a.m. She weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces and was 20 inches long. We are very happy to have her here! Lucy is very excited to be Mommy's big helper, she has been waiting to see her "Baby Sister" (as she calls her) for quite some time. She seems tiny . . . we just forget how small they really are. She likes to eat and sleep and check out her surroundings now and again. We are so happy to have her here with us. Grandma Bailey arrived late last night, she is so excited to help out with Lucy and the new baby. We'll update with more pictures soon!

The Proud Big Sister!
