Applesauce
Our house came with a sweet old apple tree in the backyard. This year it was literally dripping with apples, which have gotten all over my lawn.
So today I made my ancestors proud and took my first foray into the world of canning. My friend Hannah came over to help me peel and offer a few pointers. In all it was a great success and now I have 264 oz. of sweet applesauce to last us through the winter.

Potty training success!
It all started with the outhouse at Twin Meadows. Haven loved it.
Then back at home, potty training just sort of happened! We are lucky parents.
Well, except for one thing, though she pee pees on the potty with regularity, the number two is still happening in the undies. But besides the one little glitch, we are happy to be free of diapering! And Haven loves wearing 'unnies.'

Summer Update
Whew! We are finally home from many travels with pictures downloaded! So here is the rundown of our last few weeks:
Haven's Nana came to visit and we went to the zoo. Haven got to feed a giraffe (with some help from papa.)
Then our friends Amber and Steven got married in beautiful Neah Bay. We camped in the rain.
Next we headed to Montana for a few weeks of hot sun and family fun. My cousin Julie got married and we all lived up at Twin Meadows for a few weeks. Fences and rock walls were built, a barn was torn down (what barn?), guns were shot (RIP gophers) and much boisterous conversation was consumated around many campfires.
I hiked to the top of Elk mountain and back with my cousins Jenny and Luke and uncle Robin. We saw the FS trail crew and lots of bear signs- including a pile of grizzly doo with a deer hoof in it!
We also had a chance to visit with our dear friends Mary, Matthew and young Ramona. Haven and Ramona hit it off right away.
We were sad to leave Twin Meadows but it was nice to be home. Except for the rain. There is too much rain this August! We keep busy with tea parties.
