Home grown

Afton loves eating food from our garden. This year she's enjoyed watermelon, cucumbers, corn, tomatoes, carrots, strawberries, and zucchini. I love bringing in fresh food for dinner and we love picking raspberries and blackberries for smoothies or dessert!
Soon we'll have potatoes ready and those will keep in our garage all winter!

I am also loving these big brown eyes. Definitely just like daddy!

She has also decided that bows are cute! Yeah!

In the yard, in the diaper!

Yummy corn on the cob!

I can't believe how much Afton has grown. I am fascinated by her and couldn't love anyone or anything more.
I haven't been very good at keeping track of her progress lately but she seems to change and grow constantly.

I Spy

What do you see in this picture?

Can you see it? It's a cute little duck sitting on it's nest in the flower bed. The other day Brett and Afton were walking toward each other on the path and they spooked the poor thing. We wouldn't have known it was there if not for that moment. We had seen two ducks in our yard prior to that but figured they were just stopping by.
Pretty soon we'll have six little ducklings running around! Hope they survive Afton! 

Chasing cotton!

Afton loves spending time outside. Brett took these pictures one afternoon when the two of them were hanging out exploring the trail behind our house. 

The air was full of cotton and Afton loved trying to catch it!

Afton loves to investigate

and play!
