New Swing

Our friends Grace and Danny Shanklin had an outdoor infant swing for their daughter Anna that Adah got to try and she loved it!  After seeing how much fun she had, we had to get one!  It has been fun getting to go outside just for a bit and let Adah swing a little or play on a blanket when we aren't up for going on a walk.  We are loving the beautiful days but we're hoping it will cool off from the crazy 90 degrees.  I am not ready for the intense summer heat just yet and I am sure Kyle and Chris feel the same way out working on the farm.  This picture was taken last week on one of the cool days we had.

We are enjoying strawberries, lettuce, spring onions, kale, and bok choy these days.  The beets are beginning to come in as well.  We made some lettuce wraps for dinner the other night with chorizo, sweet potato and rice as the filling and stirred together honey, mustard and balsamic vinegar as the dipping sauce.  They were tasty, easy to make, and fun to eat with your hands! I am now trying to come up with other lettuce wrap combo ideas with what is available on the farm.

The newest with Adah is that she is now saying different syllables and sounding so mature and cute.  "Ba, ba, ba, ba" is her favorite with an occasional "Ma" thrown in there.  I could just sit and listen to her all day, it just doesn't get old.  She has also started a new thing of waking up at six instead of seven.  I am wondering if it being brighter earlier has anything to do with it.  We're hoping it was just a fluke for a couple days and she will start sleeping later again, we'll see. Happy May everyone!
