gratitude

 - Our garden is in full summer harvest thanks to the sun...waking up early while camping to spot moose, thanks to the sun...late runs during soccer practice, thanks to the sun. 

United

Cole has had the opportunity to move to a new soccer team that is a level up from what he has played in the past.

Watching him play in their first tournament was exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. It is fun to see the group understand the game better and see them develop as players - yet hard to watch  Cole struggle with his confidence. He has moved from being one of the better players, to now one that is struggling with the speed of the game, one of the smallest and noticing the difference between the levels of skill. Jeff and I, on the other hand are really excited for this season - we think he is going to learn so much and gain the confidence he will need to succeed...I only wish he knew that! 

Millions of peaches...

peaches for me.

Rupert has been very good to us this year. 

next up - fruit leather, ice cream and compote!
