As I weeded in the garden today, I was reminded of our first garden.
The famous one. **wink, wink**
The one in which Ella learned to walk.
The one Miles saved from squash bugs.
The one that produced more than any other year since.
The one I documented quite well, mostly for the sake of the two little people in it.
And I decided I need to spend some more time in the garden with my camera. I don't lug it around as much these days since I'm still carrying Emmett and all 24+ of his pounds around with me most of the time. But I certainly want these sweet moments captured.
You're only this little in the garden for one summer.
He was so happy to find our new signs today!
Ooooops!... maybe a little too excited there, Buddy!
You can't turn your back on this one for even a second. He's tearing off the Elmo signs and eating 1/2 ripened tomatoes off the vine.
And loving them I might add...
If you clicked through to some of the posts from our first garden (up top), then this photo of Ella might be shocking. She's grown so much!
Mr. Busy....
He has to re-do whatever we do.
We put veggies in, he reorganizes them.
Miles preferred to be called "Indiana Miles" today.
Ella couldn't stop telling me some story of what she's going to do with the vegetables when we get back to the house.
She talks with her hands.
And Emmett points at everything he sees all the time and grunts. He's telling us about something here...
So I'm very thankful to have this one shot of everyone's eyes at least looking at me.
Ella - 4 years
Indiana Miles - 6 years
Emmett - 14 months

Awe & Wonderful :)
The garden looks GREAT but the kids look even better! I can understand why you don't lug the camera ar
ound like in the old days with your littlest one on the move! I don't have that excuse, but ya know, life changes so I haven't blogged or gardened as much as when we were doing KinderGardens. Miss it, and walking through your garden with you and your family, but things are great here in different ways. All my kids are teens now! Yikes!
Take care, God Bless you and your family!
