Blueberry Picking

Madeline and I went blueberry picking last weekend. If you've never had fresh blueberries, you MUST do this. This was my first time and wow, they are amazing!

The bushes had all shades of ripeness so we had to be careful to only pick the blue ones.

She did a great job at this.

Very serious blueberry picker.

Helping Mommy do the grocery shopping

We live smack dab in the middle of two grocery store locations. One is much nicer and bigger than the other so I frequent that location all the time. However, we stopped in the other location this week and Madeline couldn't have been happier. I didn't know they had kiddie sized carts and she LOVED it. She took it as her job to be the shopper and everything had to go in her cart. I wish our normal store had these. I guess we'll be visiting the "other" store more often now.

Fia is walking!

Fia took her first unassisted steps back at the beginning of July and hasn't looked back. Her favorite activity the last few weeks has been to do circles around the house with the doll stroller. It was like her exercise to build up her legs. Then as each week passed, she could take an extra step or two by herself, but couldn't get past 4 or 5 steps. Then this week she took off! She is now walking across the room and it's so fun to see. She is so proud of herself when she does it.

I have some great video of her to share but my computer is having issues at the moment. I'm anxious for you all to see her so I'll try to get it up soon.

Happy 4th!

Happy Birthday Andy
