No More TOMATOES...Seriously!

If I have to look at anymore tomatoes I'm going to go nuts! Seriously! I just finished canning the last batch of stewed tomatoes. We ended up with 13 quarts of stewed tomatoes and 17 pints of salsa. I think we have enough for the year! We have more tomatoes in the basement, but I just can't stand to look at them anymore! Chuck has been doing a little experimenting and has made some dehydrated tomatoes to use in pasta dishes and such- so far they look good!

This past weekend I went to the cities to celebrate Izzy's first birthday! I can't believe she's already 1!! She had a lot of fun digging into her piece of cake, but started to cry from all of the excitement and everyone watching her. Maggie made an awesome cake that was decorated like a bubble bath with a duck in the middle of it. It was so cute!

Chuck is still working in Hermantown until the end of this week. It sounds like he is bidding another big project in Emily so keep your fingers crossed! Not too much longer and his work season will be coming to an end- he's had another successful year!

Chuck has also been building a dog house for the boys- this isn't the average doghouse though, oh no! This is the penthouse of them all! This dog house has insulation, a shingled roof, and carpeting! AND Chuck is stopping tomorrow to buy some siding for it! Can we say spoiled?!

We found daycare!!! The quest is over! I'm very happy with the lady I found and feel confident that she will take excellent care of our little one. I'll be meeting with her a couple of times once baby arrives so she can meet him or her. What a relief!

I had a doctor appt last week and got the flu shot. Never again! This is the second time I've had a flu shot and both times have been sick afterwards! I'm finally starting to feel better- so I'll be taking it easy the rest of this week. Other than the flu shot, the appt went well. Everything looks good and the strep b test came back normal. Not too much longer!

Hope you're all having a great week! Until next time...
