End of June Update

Good evening everyone!  I see it is time to have  another update...

I have had limited time on the computer with all this nesting going on.

Yesterday we were invited to some friend's house to help them pick thier blueberries.  We got 4 gallons in just a couple hours!  They are so delicious.  And the local grocery store had peaches for less than $1 a pound, so we got a bunch of those too.  Today we made peach and blueberry jam, AND froze 15 bags of blueberries and 5 bags of peaches for baking in the winter.

Mercy's Hemangioma may have started stabilizing... maybe.  I have not seen huge growth in about a week, so I am hopeful.  I am even more hopeful since an article came out early in the month that a blood pressure medicine is actually being found to shrink hemangiomas!  I am placing a request with Dr. Adams to have her try this ASAP!  You can read more about it here : http://www.healthfinder.gov/news/newsstory.asp?docid=616440 .  I am praying that maybe this option will be the way God uses to heal my precious little one.

About little ones... I am (obviously) still pregnant.  Baby is very active, but just not here yet.  Although the ticker on the side of the blog says 31 days left, I have 37 and 38 week babies, so we are really just looking at a couple weeks left. No name yet...  But participate in the poll and let us know what you think!  We are pretty sure the middle name will be Hope.

On to the Garden... I am so excited about how it looks!  Enjoy the photos!

Row 2 (Corn and Green Beans):

Beans Winding:

Bush Beans:

Row 3: (Tomatoes)

Row 4 (Cucumbers, peppers, and a few tomatoes):

I have lots more photos, but I am tired.  We have to weed our garden, and a friend's garden tomorrow, so I'd better go get some sleep.  Have a great day, and drop a line and let me know how you are doing!

I have always really liked the name Eleanor. Just thought I would suggest it since you seem to like the nickname Ellie. I like Amy and Bethany too, but I am not a fan of Abigail. Good luck choosing!

I voted for Eliana (Ellie) Hope. Beautiful name. :) I'm hoping to have a garden and learn to can and stuff at some point. Right now, our back yard is over run by weeds taller than me (yes, I'm short, but not THAT short!) :)
