Peaches Considering The Mood

Here's my boy with a blueberry fresh from one of Nana and Pa's many bushes. I had been hoping to return home laden with sacks of the best blueberries in the world (not to mention organic!), but alas, most of them were still green. Fortunately there were just enough each morning to feed my little bird. He'd follow Nana and me around as we scoured the plants for anything blue, then stuff them in his mouth as fast as he could. He even got to pick a few himself.

As always, he spent most of his time running from one end of the yard to the other, often looking for the kitty. He adopted this little spot near the compost bins as his personal hideaway. We kept trying to lure him back out with the promise of more blueberries since the mosquitoes had also claimed this area.


As it is rarely less than a steamy 112 degrees in SC in June, Nana and I set up a really neat baby pool one day during nap time. A storm blew through only moments after we both passed out from blowing the thing up - cooled everything off just enough to make sitting in the pool a bit chilly. It was perfect weather, however, for sloshing through in one's sandals and sitting on the slide.

Nana's thinking about going pro with her new found Giraffe Ball skills.

No trip to J'ville is complete without a trip to the Piggly Wiggly. Being of the Family Porkbag, Melvina found the name of the establishment intriguing and tagged along. She seemed to be under the impression that this was a place where happy pigs hung out, wiggling and such. This turned out not to be the case. We refilled her Zoloft prescription on the way home.

Before we left this morning, Andrew got a wonderful natural science lesson with his Nana. She brought out a couple of abandoned nests with eggs which he found fascinating. I was amazed how long he was able to carry around a little blue bird egg without it cracking.

Tomorrow I'm going to take advantage of the 2 weeks I have at home before our next adventure (Myrtle Beach with Nana and The Aunties!) and work on some potty training, which will probably be quite the adventure in itself. :-)
