Here are our latest pictures. Jesse and I have found a new hobby...CANNING! It is kind of addicting. I am glad that Jesse enjoys it as well because it wouldn't be as much fun without him. We have canned peaches, plums, spaghetti sauce, apple sauce, crabapple butter, crabapple jelly, crabapple syrup, grape jelly, and plum jam. We still have another batch of peaches to do and some raspberry jam. We are running out of space in the food room, so I guess we need to stop for a bit. Needless to say, this has given us something to do in our spare time the month of September. Anya has also enjoyed this month by playing with the little boy I babysit everyday. He is quite mellow compared to her. (If you know her, you are thinking, "Who isn't?") She is full of personality/attitude and keeps us all entertained!!! Everything else is going great, and we are just waiting for our next little one to come along in a few weeks. (Notice I said "one." That is because we still don't know what we are having! AH!!!) Hopefully, we get a mellow one...is that possible for us???

i thought you knew you were having a girl??? Hmmm, maybe it wasn't for sure? way to go on the canning, I wish I had the room for that and maybe I'd do it (that's my excuse for now:) Thanks for updating.

Hannah (Geoff's wife) and I been doing a lot of canning here too. We've even been teaching our neighbors how to do it. It's a lot of work, but we'll really appreciate it when it's cold outside!

Oh how I wish I had room to do canning. I would love to can stuff so I wouldn't have to spend money on it! I love the stocked shelves!! So do you not know the sex of the baby for a reason?? I have to be tough with the military. You put up with a lot of crap! Thanks for thinking of me!

Good job on the canning! That is very awesome. I need more room to do that, but someday! Anya's hair is so cute!
