Seeds after week 1

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011 by Jen

I think my daughter has a greener thumb than me. She planted one zucchini seed, then I ‘showed’ her how to do the rest, and guess which one zucchini seed has grown into a real plant? We’ve got quite a few basil plants now, some impatiens and our one lone zucchini. I had to replant the zucchini in a bigger pot too, that thing is growing like hotcakes. I replanted the rest of the zucchini seeds in the Josie method, but I may just need to start fresh with others. Today we also planted some butternut squash seeds. We may have some plants to share I’m hopeful, but I really do have a black thumb so I’m not too hopeful. I may yet kill all the basil when I need to separate them soon.

There’s the one zucchini, it will be much easier to see this week.

And there are the tiny basil plants. They’re now all hitting the roof’s of my recycling planters.

joy of LOVE 28: the future

About time I should finish this project, but I had such a hard time picking a photo for this last day, the future. What will it hold? I’ve already got pictures of Josie in her current chosen profession (doctor) so I went instead with this traditional family reading session in Josie’s bed. We were reading a simple book by one of our favorite authors Mo Willems. While Celia is still trying to eat all the books and will be for some time, she still like the pictures and Josie loves to memorize the stories and recite them back to us. Reading together is always one of my favorite times to day.

Celia’s first tooth

Monday, March 7th, 2011 by Jen

Today Celia’s first tooth appeared through her gum! On her bottom front left. I haven’t gotten much sleep for a bit over the last week, she’s been waking up every hour and a half and is sometimes up for the day at 5am! Hopefully the other bottom one will come in shortly and we’ll get back to getting some sleep. I should really be in bed.
