Recital Week and Peter's Antics

Well, we survived recital week again and Sammy made it through his first recital in the audience. It was a long week, but Andi loved every bit of it. She loves being at the theater and loves her turn on stage even more. I stayed backstage with her as usual and the girls are starting to be pretty fun to watch back there. Bonus points to whoever can pick Andi out of all three pictures. It gets hard to tell them apart with the make-up and buns and matching costumes.

After the show with Ms. Cathy.

And Grandma, who is still running the show.

And  the annual Britt & Callie photo op. We aren't dancing anymore, but we are still backstage every year.

I completely missed the whole 11 month photo, but Peter is getting more adventurous every day. We have to lock the water on the fridge door because he can now reach it and flood the kitchen. He can pull things off the dining table now, including an entire bowl of baby mush which he then utilized as finger paint. And he is sneaky and is constantly trying to escape. Luckily he can only get the back door open this far. Then he starts yelling.

 

 He also likes to play in Andi's room.

Bath time is still his favorite time of day.

He's even learning how to use cups. Gross.

Last year our peach tree was pretty small and only gave us a couple dozen peaches, so we decided not to prune it, just let it get bigger. Bad idea. We have so many peaches I can't give them away fast enough. I picked this basket one morning. In case you were wondering, that's 90 peaches!

We've got a lot of something else going on in the garage as well. That is what half a cow looks like all butchered and frozen.

We aren't huge meat eaters, so this is a year or more supply of beef for us, but it is grass fed, hormone free, and a ton cheaper even than costco.
