Small and Simple Things

This past summer my friend Sara so graciously let us use part of her backyard for our garden. This is the little cantaloupe we got. Mater helps you see how small it really was. The kids loved eating it up. You heard things like, "I ate five whole slices!" It was fun.


We have a new pet tortoise. We brought him home when he was less than a week old. On our way home from picking him up we unanimously decided his name would be Rocky. Rocky is the one with spots. His shell is a little bumpy and uneven and so we thought the name fit him well. We also have Speedy. He belongs to my friend Sara, but he is a birthday present for her son at the beginning of Nov. The Keys help show how little they really are. I know the picture is side ways, but you can get the point. Oh, and we really don't know if Rocky is a boy or girl. We still don't even know if Junior is a boy or girl. Time will tell.

Oh my, those have to be the cutest things ever. Dominic is dying to have a pet. I think I could do a turtle!!

Ben loves turtes so much! Once we are out of student housing we will probably get one. When will you know if Rocky is a male or female?

Hooray! We grew our first garden this year and that was how big our cantaloupes were too. But it is so fun to plant and then harvest. (Weeding, not so much. But harvesting is fun.)
