Berries Berries

Jessica and I have decided to take our love for fresh blueberries to the next level. This year we bought three blueberry bushes and planted them behind the house. Now, if we can just keep the birds away--which Jessica has so far done wonderfully with the kitchen broom--we should be set with fresh berries for the summer.

Growing ...

As most of you know, Jessica is now 24 weeks pregnant with little Aeva. Due to popular demand, exclusive photos of the upcoming star have now been made public for the first time since her initial ultrasound debut!

Spring Cleaning

Well it's that time of year again when temperatures rise and the water starts to look very inviting again after a long, long winter. Not all of use are as fortunate as Eric, who can take his boat our 12 months a year. But anytime you have a boat at your disposal, what more can you really ask for. That being said, Jessica and I decided it was high time we pull the tarp off the boat and dewinterize that sucker. There were any unpleasant surprises, but the batter was nearly dead after being out in the cold for the last 8 months, and as you can see there was also a whole lot of smoke involved oncee we restarted the engines. The end result wasn't too shabby, though. There was still plenty enough time to take a spin on Percy Priest and start the summer off right--with a good stiff sunburn across my shoulders.

Visit from Luz

VISITORS! Last weekend we were privilaged to entertain one of Jessica's long-time friends and bridesmaids from our wedding, Luz Lamneck. Good friends are a blessing from the Lord and we certainly were blessed by her. Rarely have I seen Jessica have so much fun or laugh so hard as when she and Luz are together, usually making fun of me or some other man in their lives---but hey that's okay.

Kayaking

A Little bit of excitement today--Jessica's new kayak from Wisconsin showed up at 9:30 a.m. We'd been waiting for it to arrive for two weeks. As today was my day off, we couldn't afford to wait for pretty weather, so we put out on the water right away. Beautiful boat! I had to stop myself from casting a covetous glance its way more than once.

Welcome all to our new blog. Expect oodles of new and exciting information soon to be posted.
