I created this blog specifically with Mom & Dad in mind. Even though they can't be here in Oregon to enjoy their grandchildren, I thought this would be one way to help keep them in touch. I am also glad it can be used to keep all of my friends and family in touch as well!
Today marks the beginning of our Blueberry Season this year! If you'll take note of the date, it's SUPER early this year. Thanks to all the warm weather we've had lately, we're eating off our bushes almost a month earlier than normal. It caught me by surprise. The boys were wandering outside chomping on something and I realized it was blueberries! And they were actually blue! (They've been known to, out of pure angst for the season, take off a few blueish/purple berries and just eat past the slight bitterness) I set out to test the berry's sugar content to make sure we could actually start the picking season and the boys could hardly keep their hands off the bushes. So, I put them to work... William wouldn't even look up for a picture... Just because it's fun to watch them be silly together... And I know these two little faces won't be little forever.

William was the first to run after her, through muddy streams and all, until we caught her and brought her back. We then experienced our first time getting to step onto a frozen lake! There were multiple people ice fishing which was something I'd never seen before! They've become quite good friends The way too large Dutch Bros drink that all birthday boys look forward to S...
We're definitely not the same people we were in 2003, but it's God's intention that with time the heart grows deeper in love and understanding of one another.

So, the boys set up a date after the fact where they create a menu and cook us a special candlelight dinner all on their own. It's pretty special (o; I just love Cal's expression in this one Two men who will make amazing husband's someday
