Forced to slow down.

We have been making a lot of progress in our garden.  All of the herbs on the deck are growing great.  We even have some hot peppers and grape tomatoes growing.  Our garden is almost fully planted now.  We have cilantro growing like crazy, onions, kohlrabi, carrots, spinach, radishes, tomatoes, and banana peppers.  I am excited about all the fresh food we will have to eat this summer.


  I have been instructed by my dr. not to pick up anything heavier than my coffee cup.  Since my laparoscopic surgery turned into reopening my c-section incision, I am unable to do much of anything.  Although it sounds nice, I am having a hard time because I cannot take care of the kids.  They have been staying with Todd's mom since Sunday night.  Athalie just got her first tooth while I was in the hospital.  She is getting so big.  I miss her so much.  And Emerson, he is just such a loving little boy.  He is working on Potty training right now.  He is pretty much potty trained as long as he has no pants on.  He still needs work with that part.  I think part of it has to do with the actual pulling down of the pants.  That is still hard for him to do.
