Foooooooooood…partly

Back to the physical survival necessity of food and mostly the supposed subject of this blog…but first a few…a lot...of pictures of the kids.  I have so many good ones of them - this is a sampling.  Thank you Jesus that they play and get along so well…for now - Lord knows that can change quickly…it's just plain heartwarming.

Graham still loves dress-up and 'dramatic play'

Estelle's birthday was a ball and a beautiful day to boot!

Got a great laugh on this one - they put both legs in one pant-leg - good, simple entertainment for a while!

Graham held up two pretzels to look through and of course like most things - Estelle copies what her awesome big brother does

No one was hurt during this - a bit of a bear wiping out the strawberry yogurt though.

OK - and now foooooood, this wheat berry waldorf salad recipe with cinnamon Jason discovered is so great for summer - he made some arugula and sun-dried tomato flatbread to complement - very niccccce.

We usually really only use Nutella with classic crepes but Jason gave the kids stuffed french toast with it this time.  Rivals the crepes for sure!

Tim and Deb gave us this cutie wicker chair and Estelle is lovin' it.  Carries it down to the sidewalk, on the grass, porch, etc., etc.  she loves to 'dit' (sit) in different kinds of chairs.

The little Pirate - Graham is the youngest in his little league (6-8 year olds) and it's quite a commitment but he does still really love baseball and enjoys playing on this team (his coach lives a block away and Jason went to high school and swam with him and his wife! It's a small world after all, la la la)

DARLING kindergarten 'graduation' that Graham's phenomenal teacher put on.  Singing, dancing, slideshow, report card presentation, etc. = tear jerkers

She's got a great in-house coach and example!  Graham was quick to flip the helmet around.

This is our 'corn-oisseur' as Graham called her.  She even shucks it herself.   Normally imbibes two ears and would take in three or four if you'd let her.

The continuously honed fish tacos a la Jason - Mahi-mahi is his top choice currently.

We've already had some realllllly great sweet corn but know that the WI will be the best as soon as it's ready!  Should be earlier this year, right?, with the milder weather?  Although it's been cool the last few days…who knows but we're looking forward to getting it at the farmer's markets as soon as we can!

Eating mango…again.  They're at a great price and soooooooo good right now!
