What could be better than going to the farmer's market and picking out corn for dinner? Shucking it!


Cole loves to take the husks off of the corn. The intense look here is due to the fact that one ear of corn was the white variety, the rest bi-color. He wants to find the white one before Avery does. But as you can see, the fun ends there. He is not such a fan once he uncovers the silk inside.

A very friendly butterfly that frequents our garden.

fun in the sun

We went to the Indiana Dunes with our friends. It was soooooooooo fun.

Avery collected some rocks.

We climbed the big hill.

block party

The annual block party is the most exciting thing in the whole entire universe for Cole. One of the best parts, besides being allowed to play in the street, and besides the bouncy, and besides the cupcakes, is the visit from Engine 12 (also his very favorite number) and getting to spray the hose. How cool is that!?

I'm back!

Well, sort of. By popular demand, Cole's blog is being updated. But I ("Mommy")will be doing it on his behalf since he is busy living his life instead of documenting it! Here are a few pictures from that last few weeks.

The mini-donut machine at the farmer's market. Nothing says farm-fresh like a hot greasy donut. Mmmmmm!

Corn and beans for everyone!
