From the Weekend

Peter and Aunt Karen - this is one picture where he wasn't
trying to pull out her hair or rip out her earrings :)
We went for a hike at the Morningstar Mill on Monday afternoon
Are you kidding, Mom? I don't need an afternoon nap! Get me out of here!
Happy little guy
When they called it a JOLLY Jumper they weren't kidding...

6 Months Young!

This is one of the two groundhogs who lived in our garage last year, and who has now returnedPeering out from his hole
I am now able to sit, but I'm still a little tippy!
Wow... Mom these tree branches are amazing!
Checking out the grass
Looking a little stunned
Look! I have two teeth!
The best toys are the ones that are furry and move

Carrots are good!

Here ye, Here ye!!

(Not so) Dear Garden Visitor,
Although I am not sure who you are, I have a pretty good idea. If I am right, you are large, brown, furry, and like to live in tunnels in either my shed or under my sun room. You need to know that you are NOT welcome in either of those places. Perhaps the bricks and rocks that I keep shoving in your holes might have given you a clue about that, but it seems you need a more obvious reprimand. Go away!
I am also very angry at you for digging in my vegetable pots. The lettuce, beans and carrots are NOT for you. Neither is the broccoli which will be making its way outside shortly. Neither are my future tomatoes!! If you want to have vegetables, grow them yourself.
Please take this warning seriously. You do not want to mess with my garden. Find another place to live.
Most seriously,
Rachel

Spirit of God, dwell Thou within my heart;
Wean it from earth, through all its pulses move;
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art,
And make me love Thee as I ought to love.I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
No sudden rending of the veil of clay,
No angel visitant, no opening skies;
But take the dimness of my soul away.Didst Thou not bid us love Thee, God and King?
All, all Thine own: soul, heart, and strength, and mind.
I see the cross - there teach my heart to cling;
O let me seek Thee and O let me find!
Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh;
Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear;
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love,
One holy passion filling all my frame -
The baptism of the heaven-descended Dove;
My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.

A few more...

Since Mike is off at the Cadet-a-ree today, I have his computer and lots of extra time to look through pictures. Peter still refuses to roll over for me even though he gets LOTS of opportunity to practice! He just hates being on his tummy, and I feel a little bad because it always makes him puke. I'm looking forward to the time when he outgrows his puking habits! It make for a lot of extra laundry!

Haha, my Mom got this shot of him - Peace out

Still quite enthralled with this friend that keeps showing up in the mirror
Let's have a conversation, shall we?
Robert and Dave, Peter and Karen last weekend

Playing on the couch
Check this out! Mom pulled the BIG truck out of the closet
and it tastes WAY better than the little one.
Yeah, I'm still not going to roll over for you Mom.

Attention all blog readers

For a long time, I've had a tracker going on my blog- for interest's sake to see if anyone actually reads this blog and where they might come from. I've had readers from some interesting places, and I'm usually surprised at the fact that people keep checking back on my blog even though I think it's getting a little boring. The total hit count since I started is currently at 20,924. Wow! Of course not all of those are unique hits.
Over the last week, I've had quite a few visitors from the Hamilton area, as well as St. Catharines. I'm assuming these are people that I know? If you read this post can you please leave a comment so I have an idea on who still checks this thing? Thanks!
