Baby seems cozy on the inside, so we’re making the most of it with day trips to our favorite places.
I looked out the kitchen window and saw this during Ivar’s morning animal chores. He is a good shepherd.
Wednesday night and we’re still waiting. And finding things to do...
We celebrated baby’s due date by attending a sauerkraut party. 🎉 It was so fun and now I know how to ferment cabbage...which was totally new to me. This was the last official thing on the calendar so baby can come now! 🥰
I had to ask all the kids, “who keeps putting rocks in the fridge?” Elias replied excitedly, “Meeeeeeee!” “Why?” And he looked at me perplexed like, “why not?”
Gotta admit I’m not super into preserving the harvest this year. But Rory is, and I love what I see coming out of my kitchen!
