It is hard to believe that we will be in St. Louis in just 5 weeks. We have been very busy trying to get things in order. That explains the dearth of blog posts. But, we have still taken a few pictures. Hopefully we’ll have more time to keep you updated after we get settled, but for now here are some pictures of the things we’ve been up to.

to anyone who regularly reads this blog. It has been many days since I made an update. I have accepted a faculty position at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and our lives have been completely turned upside down. We are expected to be there some time in the early fall and we have to sell our house…So, our lives are crazy and I will probably only be updating sporadically for a while. Sorry…
It’s that time of year again…Time to plant the garden. This year we have decided to go with a smaller version of gardens of years past. But, we still planted 40 ft. of bush beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, basil, squash and watermelon. The kids helped most with the beans. We strung a rope to guide us and then used a 4 in. block to equally space the seeds.
Then it was off to plant the squash with daddy:
Then, Henry and daddy planted the cucumbers:
Of course, everything then needed to be watered. The kids very much enjoyed playing in the water:
All in all we had a great time planting the garden. I won’t say that convincing Lewis the bean seeds weren’t “jellybeans” wasn’t a challenge, but once we got past that…
Ever since the weather warmed up, Trey (and therefore the kids) have been obsessed with bubbles. Trey has even gone so far as to make his own soap mixture and dye it blue! We have purchased several bubble implements and the kids really have a great time playing with them. Here are the results.
