He Grows (and he's still a boy!)

This is my favorite picture! I love that he's sucking his thumb!!




We were also blessed to get a DVD showing him and all the measurements. WOW! They take a lot of measurements.

Reflections on our CSA

Alas, our CSA has come to an end. Well, technically it came to an end on November 10, 2009. 20 weeks of wonderful vegetables fresh from the farm were ours to enjoy. And overall? Grand success.

Positives: Fresh vegetables, more vegetables eaten in my house, experimented with different vegetables, variety in our diet,

Negatives: Umm....paying for it upfront? Seriously, the worst part was arranging to have one of us available to pick up the vegetables. I guess you could add fruit share to the negatives. We weren't impressed with it, and won't be doing it again anytime soon. I know there were a few more

So, now that registration has opened for this year? Yep, we are signing up. We were happy with the CSA and will miss it...until June 2010.

And the Kitchen Sink

Our kitchen sink has been leaking since...oh about a month after we moved in. It started when the mighty putty* fell off. No biggie to us, it was a little pin hole, so we stuck a bucket under it and called it good. Well, over the months, that little leak has invited a few friends to play. They have all shed their mighty putty covering and made the bucket under the sink seem very, very small. So the time came to replace the sink.


Nick did a great job, and this is the end result:

I love the high faucet, the deep (9"!) sinks, the sprayer and the soap dispenser. Who'd a thunk a new sink would make me so happy?


*Disclaimer: The mighty putty was there when we moved in. We did not put it on.
