Fourth Week of June » Aldergrove Family Photographer

Post #4 of Personal Project 52 weeks.

This past week flew by. I can barely remember what I did each day.

* Hydrangeas. I love them. They started flowering this week. One of my gardening goals is to have fresh cut flowers inside my home from spring into fall. But especially spring and early spring. I’d still like to find a forsythia plant (notice my inspiration is the branches inside a cool vase) and maybe another cherry blossom. Do you have any favorites?

* It appears that most photos of Mattias are of him crawling away from me. Except when he is contained, i.e. in his high chair. He is the sweetest, giggly baby ever. Sometimes just looking at him makes him explode into laughter.

* California: you got nothing on my strawberry patch.

* Made this dough. Recipe discovered and recommended by my SIL, Alicia. I’ve made it a number of times and love it. This time, I used the dough for calzones. I cheated and used the kitchenaid to knead.

* Ate lunch at Costco on Saturday. Meaning lots of samples. Costco and Superstore are my favorite stores to visit with the kids. They have the double buggies and the whole experience is really quite fun. Noah is quite extroverted and will chat with anyone and everyone at every opportunity he has. His favorite question at the moment “what’re you doing?”. When satisfied with the answer, he will change the subject to trucks and cars and cranes, often inquiring about what kind of car the person drives and then launching into listing all the important cars in his collection.

* Noah treats me like the paparazzi. “STOP Mom. No pictures.” he growls at me, while hiding behind his hands.
