A Day at the Farm

There are moments when you take a picture of your child and wonder, where did my baby go? This picture is from our playgroup trip to Billings Farm today. There is such a grownup look to Violet, I just can't get over it.

Edgewater Farm CSA Week 14

This week we are enjoying potatoes, onion, heirloom tomatoes, corn, cherry tomatoes, dill, hakuri turnips and eggplant from our CSA box. It's amazing how much flavor the cherry tomatoes have - they are definitely the item all of us like to eat straight out of the box. I'm also really excited to have hakuri turnips again, they are absolutely delicious roasted! I think Marc is most excited about the heirloom tomatoes. They are definitely something we want to try to grow in our garden one day.

Edgewater Farm CSA Week 13

In our box this week we received corn, plum tomatoes, fennel, onion, green beans, pepper, hot pepper, arugula, cilantro and zinnias. I've really been enjoying the corn we've been receiving and I know Marc is going to be really excited about the arugula. 

Violet is a big fan of green beans - after finding them in the box she wanted to taste them straight away. 

Then it was on to find the tomatoes. It may look like a large heavy bag but this little girl is strong.

First Day of School

Today was Violet's first day of "school". This year she'll be attending Toddlers Morning Out a cooperative preschool of sorts. She is in a class with ten other kids her age, two teachers and a rotating parent volunteer. Although it's only two days a week for a couple of hours each day we are very excited that she'll have some socializing time away from Mommy and Daddy.

To commemorate the first day we decided to take a family picture outside. Violet wouldn't wear her backpack so we propped it on the wood pile. Although later I did get one skeptical and slightly blurry photo of her with it on. 

Happy Back to School everyone!
