Cousins, floating gourds and milestones!

Yesterday, we drove out to the Trygstad Compound to pick up little Miss Edie Pants after a weekend of fun with her grandma (now nicknamed "MeeMa") and grandpa. After hanging out for a bit, we went over to my aunt and uncle's cabin on Lake Lida and hung out with some extended family. Edie was able to play (and by play I mean steal toys) with her secondish cousin Brooklyn. What cute little ladies ;)

The rest of the day consisted of bead threading and walks in the garden.

This has been the highlight of my week:

Yep, that birdhouse gourd is hanging from a tree.... five feet from the ground. Uff da! The gourd spread it's vines at least 20 feet into the tree canopy... so, we'll see if there will be any other floating gourds before the season ends.

Just this morning, Edie sat and ate the table for the first time. What a big girl!
