Biking!
IMG_3068
 
We've been doing a lot of biking lately since Patrick is old enough to ride in the trailer. Now that Sam has a trail-a-bike he has more fun pedaling behind Mom or Dad. And Sam's friend, Hugh, gave Sam his old bike. For now it has the training wheels on.
 
We also went to the Alpenrose Velodrome to watch some bike racing. The racers really fly around the track.
 
I'm now uploading our photos to Flickr. Click on the pictures (above and below) to view the appropriate slideshow. From there you can leave the slideshow, view individual pictures, download those that you like, and even leave us comments.

The garden thus far

The garden's really growing now since we've had a bit of heat. The grapes unfortunately are a total loss thanks to powdery mildew. Live and learn I guess. We're going to have the most tomatoes we've ever had and the corn should be awesome. Molly and I pickled our first vegetables yesterday (1 jar of golden beets and 4 jars of green beans.

Camping at Oxbow State Park

We had a fun time camping at Oxbow State Park (just 40 minutes east of our house) although it was very hot and humid. A bit of a Florida preview I guess. The kids had a great time especially Sam. A family of deer passed through our camp a few times.

Patrick is Crawling
 
Patrick showing off his Padre PJ's from Kathleen and Brian. Patrick just started crawling! Within a week he's able to crawl around the living/dining room. He's going to be chasing Sam soon. He even has the same one-leg-floor-sweep crawl style that Sam had. Pretty funny. We'll get a video up soon.

No-Knead Heaven!

 

I finally tried the no-knead bread baking technique that was published in the New York Times. This is awesome! Killer bread....minimum effort. Can't get any easier!
