Victory Garden

This is the new object of our affection.  We'll have to transplant them again when we move but these are the chance happening pumpkins that came up when we planted using some half decomposed compost.  Laura and I are committed to seeing ourselves through tough times by gardening our way out--and hopefully canning plenty of goods for the winter.
Here are the rest of our new babies.  We've got tomatoes (two varieties) peppers, cilantro, basil, and rosemary.  We can't wait to sample the fruits of our labors!
Here is how Nan Mac spent the weekend.  She was such a trooper helping us with some more of the wedding plans.  She addressed every single invitation herself!  Thanks a ton!

Besides doing a lot for the wedding, we enjoyed an afternoon in Boulder, made Paella at Burke and Tiffs after checking some of their renovations, and had James and Kim over for a delicious Easter meal that Nancy prepared.  Our only regret was that Allison wasn't able to come.

Crazy weather and a hectic spring.

This is Laura on a recent blizzard day at Breckenridge.  This is the run that she destroyed her knee on.  What a day for snowboarding though!
The next day we planted our starter plants and garden!  We used some of our compost and soil from years past.  We're excited for the chance to finally put these babies in a real garden.
Three kids and counting!  We "broke" three ribbons and still have plenty of chances to get some more kids.  Who came up with that craziness anyway?  Thanks to all who joined us for a wonderful time in St. Louis, especially Parker and Steve (the next Carlos Santana?) and Lynn and Bruce, and of course David and Nancy.  Three cheers for all of you.
