I know I fell off the blogging wagon, but we are just so excited to have DH home and trying to squeeze too many things into our days.  I think every member of the family had a running list of things "to do when Dad comes home"  including Dad.  There have been lots of projects started, some finished, many board games played, a few discipline issues addressed and tons of maintenance problems around the house taken care of.  It feels soooooo good to feel semi caught up.  And best of all--Micah is sleeping in his own bed and Caroline is potty trained.  All of this in one week!  God sure knew what He was doing when He designed the family.  It works so well and is so sweet when things are as they should be.

Yesterday we felt caught up enough to go blueberry picking.

We went early while it was still cool and picked 2 gallons.

I froze three gallon size ziploc bags full.

And washed a colander full for immediate baking and consumption.

The end results were greatly enjoyed.

The kids promptly went out to investigate the progress of our blackberries.  I guess I need to look up some more recipes.

Sounds like a wonderful week...
I loved the pictures. Those blueberries look amazing!
I'm trying hard not to be envious of the fact that Caroline is potty trained. I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever get there with Ian! :)

So great that hubby is home. I hope you continue to have lots of fun things to do with him. The boy scout camp looks fun, hope it all works out for you. And those muffins look very yummy. :)
