New/not yet born potatoes

After months of anxious waiting for (read: forgetting entirely about) our modest potato crop, we dug them up today with some excitement. Anyone else's hopes might have been dashed upon pulling up our first specimen.

Yep, that's a quarter.

But us city-folk were just thrilled to be digging up something edible from the garden. Subsequent digs yielded what might be termed new potatoes, though they, too, are probably a hair shy of that designation.


An impressive first try I'd say! Maybe we'll water them next year.

THE cake

"Victory!! I dedicate this is bite to all those babies out there who've never had chocolate cake."

"Those healthy banana cookies? Don't even try it Mom. Not after this."

Things actually started off pretty tame... nice family portrait, David looking stoic below.

"C'mon, Frankie. What's the big deal? Chocolate shmocolate. Gimme one of those banana cookies."

"Hmm something different about this piece of food."

And the rest is history. Another beautiful chocolate cake- thank you Lola!

Looking Back: Other 1st Birthdays

Our special man/boy/baby

Three belated birthdays to recognize here: Jackson turned 11 on Aug. 6, Pop-pop turned even wiser on Aug. 10 and sweet baby David turned one on August 11! The males stick together in this family for survival purposes.

We love you all.

David celebrated last night by bathing in spaghetti. A foretaste of his official party this weekend, no doubt.


The flash really makes that sauce "pop".
