Strawberries or Actuallies

Yes, that's what Savannah is calling strawberries, "actuallies" is exactly what it sounds like! She is very familiar with them too as we have a good producing patch in our backyard now!


We have a good sized patch growing and Savannah is no stranger to picking them!

I made 2 batches of jam with them the other day too and it was so fun. It's the best tasting jam ever!

A few other things we've been up to:

Savannah is potting training, but we are NO good at it. Anyone have any book suggestions as we obviously can't figure this out on our own! She's fine to sit there all day, but definitely wants down when she has to go!

Nate is growing faster than Savannah. They have been in the same size diapers for most of Nater's life, but now they are in the same clothes. Even so much as the other night when Savannah puked on her PJ's she wore Nate's!



Father's Day was just the other day and we did Savannah's hair up cute w/ an adorable hat and matching dress and colored a card for her Dad. Todd is really a great Dad and it was so cute to see her give it to him and look at it together. She's a pretty lucky girl!


See what I mean about Lucky Girl! Yes, this is whipped topping that Savannah is licking from the beaters provided to her by her Dad. And in case you are wondering how she got so good at it... it's not her first time!



And finally we have a real live garden. It's so much fun. Stuff is sprouting and growing and we are looking forward to harvest! We planted corn, tomatoes, crookneck, zucchini, butternut, and potatoes! Yum Yum!

Wow I want some of you actuallies! We seemed to grow everything but those. I will have to post a pic of our garden as it is so exciting to have our first one. The kids look so cute and we can't wait to see you all soon!

I was looking at some of the photos from the portrait shoots and I must say Nate's got to have some of the sweetest eyes on the planet—what a cutie!
