Under the direction of my sister, and inspiration from my cousin, Regina, we are growing cherry tomatoes this summer.  I hopefully bought my last $3.00 carton of tomatoes at the grocery last night… key word being "hopefully!"

 

Dad teaching Noelle how to scoop dirt into the pot.

    

After Noelle said, "No, I do it!" Mike got out of the way and held the bag open (Pic 1).  She then proceeded again to tell him, "Nooo, I do it!"  Pic 2 is the result of no help at all (not so fun)!

     

We’re back in business!  This was the first time Noelle’s worn her overall skirt, and I believe one of the last things we bought her before she was born, yep that’s right, you heard me correctly; I just can’t pass up a sale.  Anyway, she put her cell phone in her pocket and kept it there all day (unless she was on the phone of course).

     

Practicing gym (on the concrete, crazy) and checking out the new life on our tree, Noelle is so happy to be outside playing!  Although it’s surprisingly still chilly, we’re so happy it’s sunny!  I bought a special lens hood for our camera to keep the rays of the sun from entering our outdoor pictures, but I forgot to put it on… anyway…

   

"Yay!"  We suburbanites went out of our comfort zone and tried something new.  If you don’t see tomato plant pictures in a few months, don’t ask.  I’m going to try my hardest to keep these plants alive!
