Straweberries are in!JAHODY! We love berries! Eli and I picked 30lbs of strawberries. Sofia picked two green ones, stepped on about a dozen and ate a few. We found a great source for organic strawberries. They are yummi, juicy and big! We made jam, ice cream, smoothies, and the rest is in a freezer for the winter. Here are some berry pics.

happy birthday to our special boy! Eli is 4! Where has the time gone? We threw a Monkey Party for him on Sun and it went very well. Beautiful weahter, great spot at the park, and the kids had fun! Tim grilled burgers to perfection! I made sweet potato salad, kimchi, green salad, and of course THE CAKE! Eli was blessed by all the wonderful creative gifts from his friends. Thank you all! It was a success because of you all!
