How blessed I am! First, an update on Hayden and Crystal. Crystal had to have a transfusion today, but I hear is feeling much better. Hayden is doing well...both Ben and Crystal have gotten to hold him...can't wait to see a picture! The hole in his lung is healing nicely, but his white cell count is up, so they are keeping him on the anti-biotics..no word on when they will be home.
This morning, I woke up to this smiling face...minus his front tooth! He was so excited...and I think he looks so very cute!
Had to get my picture for my license taken today...no fun...and I never like the picture. Came home and Ron, Meghan & I had to go to the bank for some accounts...Meghan opened her first checking and saving accounts...(sigh) another milestone for my 16 year old. We switched to a local bank, where we know the manager personally (she was even in our wedding), and the teller...it is so nice to deal locally with people who know you! Sara took the little ones to the library, then we all hit the farmers market!
Check out these nectarines and golden plums!
Ron can never pass up fresh bread...and this garlic herb potato bread was calling his name! Along with wonderful chocolate milk from the "Springhouse".
This zucchini was from our garden...what the deer haven't eaten!
Fresh cucumbers and tomatoes
My wonderful helpers...shucking corn! One of the main joys of my summertimes is fresh, hot, sweet, corn on the cob! We all got some shaved ice at the farmers market as well...Sara even got a lot of EXTRA flavoring in hers!
So...dinner consisted of the bread, cucumbers, tomatoes (these cherry tomatoes were from our garden, too), corn on the cob and a mushroom, cheese, spinach frittata. It was so good!

It was so good!We got a call today, that our Uncle Ralph passed away. He wasn't really our uncle by blood, but that's what we always called him. My Uncle Rich, who passed away over Mother's day weekend was Ralph's brother....Ralph was the last of the Sacco brothers. So, when I called Aunt Helen to check on her, she said she'd like a visit...so we all piled in the suburban and went to visit her. She now lives with my cousins, and is doing well. Little Tyler, who just turned 3 keeps her busy!
Me and Aunt Helen...my Gram's only living sibling. She is so special to me!
Now that my cousin, Stacy, has Tyler, Ronnie and Anna love playing with him. He is so cute and funny! They all had a great time tonight, and the girls did too....Stacy's brother and his wife are having twin girls soon, so we had a lot of fun looking at the baby girl stuff that they have already bought, and talking about the shower coming up on August 22nd. Two twin double flannel blankets to make! I have to finish Hayden's airforce blanket, first.
