Thursday
The sun finally came out. Dare I hope summer is beginning here in Portland? Today I tried out my new toy, my solar oven I've kept boxed up for months waiting......... I'm prepping it for it's first use. The instructions were to get it heated up (it hit 350 inside) and put 3 cups of vinegar in it, then wipe it out. Hopefully I'll be able to actually cook in it tomorrow.

Wednesday
We went to the Waddells tonight for their annual 4th of July Party. It was wonderful being around our homeschool friends in a social setting and catching up with them. The children LOVED playing with all the other children. Here is Jaren his sparkler lit.

Tuesday
Preparing for the 4th of July party we'll be going to tomorrow. I made a Waldorf quinoa salad and red, white and blue jello. Yep, this is as fancy as I get in my food preparations.

Monday
Jaren is very interested in outer-space right now. Lately he's been gathering the books we have on outer-space and reading them at night. Here he is doing a science experiment showing others how the sun shines on the earth.

Sunday
The first thing the children do when we come home from church is grab their 2nd apple for the day and settle down to read. Jaren reads his cat books and Jenea often grabs the comics from the newspaper.

Here is another picture from our Wildlife Safari trip back in March. This is me, Jaren and Jolie. I forgot to bring my camera to the ward BBQ tonight - that was held inside thanks to the rain (sigh).

Friday
31 weeks pregnant. This week while we were taking a walk a lady (whom I know from church) asked if I was walking hoping to get labor started. I think people forget what is in my belly - lots of water, a 3 lb organ (the placenta) AND a baby.
