One day's tomato harvest - we had an interesting variety of tomatoes thanks to my Mom. I made a good number of spaghetti sauce batches for the freezer.
We've been living 20 minutes from Niagara Falls for seven years now, and we realized that we have never even gone there once during that time. Nate was at Opa and Oma's for a sleepover, and so we took advantage of the greater hand-to-child ratio to show the boys this amazing natural wonder.
Dad and the boys
The littlest one gets a lot of love from his older brothers! In general they are very gentle with him and are quick to give him hugs, kisses, gentle bounces in his chair or a soother if he's sad
They often like to play "Farmer" - perhaps we should look for some costumes of more domesticated animals, as I think they playing more of a "Zookeeper" game
Danielle, Lauren and I spent a day attempting to can seven 11qt baskets of peaches. We got the majority of them done, and they sure are sweet this year! We were reminded of how important it is to wash your jars out well before you start: Yuck!!!
We've had a new "pet" in the house for a few weeks now... Jack the Millipede. I'm thankful he's not as fast and creepy as a centipede, and I'm also thankful for a terrarium that has a firmly latching lid. Aaron has been calling it MilliPeter the Millimeter.

nice update Rachel. Yes jars can collect anything from unwanted, mostly dead centipedes to dust. Don't want to think about the things we can't really see moving around the house, they have their place and function as well I suppose. As for the millipede, very interesting...... I even touched it and it feels a lot different than I would have thought.mom
Love the shot of you with your boys at the Falls!
