Delicious Days

Our first hot day of the year
was the perfect day for our first BBQ.
T and Ellen had everyone out to the farm
for a beautiful afternoon.

The menu was kielbasa, sausage, and hot dogs,
all made from their very own pigs.
Ellen made homemade buns for the meat,
and we had fresh greens cut from the greenhouse.

With all the trees, green pasture, and fresh air,
the farm feels like paradise.

Handsome husband shot.
Dorothy's cousin Ellis had been sick,
so this was the first time they were able to meet.
Ellis was having a hard time with the concept of being
soft around the baby
and tried to step on her and poke her eyes a few times.

It must be hard, though, to have been the only grandbaby,
and now he has to share the spotlight.
He was especially sad when his mom and dad
took turns holding Dorothy.
I think in a few more months
he'll start to like his baby cousin.

And what blog post is complete
without a new picture of the little miss?

I think I have been sitting here for 20 minutes reading your blog. I have serious problems:). Your sweet precious baby girl is astounding. She is incredible. I just feel you love for her oozing through your words. I hope to meet her SOOOMEDAY. We're moving to Illinois, that is half way there:). Congratulations and good work on that labor, what a struggle and oh so worth it.
