Teeth & Tomatoes

Mallory got her first tooth last Tuesday. I could not believe it! I knew it was coming in because it was red and sore but Tuesday morning when I saw it pop through...I lost it! I CAN NOT believe my little girl has a tooth! Seriously...she can not grow this fast!!!
Along with this precious tooth came quite the nightmare. Mallory was not feeling well...actually she acted fine but had extreme diarrhea. (Good thing she isn't embarrassed by this yet). She also had a slight temperature. So daycare of course couldn't keep her so daddy stayed home with her Thursday and Friday. It is SO nice that Mick is willing to do this. I can't complain about him! Well, actually I can...lol! He did things with this girl that I wouldn't have allowed if I was home but they had fun and no damage done. What did he do with her...oh didn't make her take a nap, fed her a full apple, took her on the four-wheeler, gave her french fries. You know, the typical good cop behavior! lol!
I really didn't mind-again I'm just glad that he is willing to stay home with her and have fun with her and have her try new things.
She also went to her first parade. First parade in...watching instead of being in the parade. SHE LOVED IT! She just smiled at the kids and vehicles. I thought the sirens would scare her as they were quite siren happy but nope...she just smiled and got excited! Her and Lane were so cute in their strollers and of course Grant was just sweet as pie. He really loves Mallory and it is adorable to watch.
I spent the weekend canning tomatoes for the first time. I dreaded this at first because one I have never canned in my life and had NO CLUE on what I was doing. But once I started and got a few helpful hints from a dear friend...I was on a roll. I made spaghetti sauce, salsa and diced tomatoes. I think I have about 25+ jars so I will mark it up as a success and honestly can't wait for more tomatoes to rippen to do it all again. I guess that is farm living at it's best!
Speaking of farm living...it was a blessing to live in the country on Saturday night during the meteor shower. I was home alone and thought why not? I looked up online what time and where to look and out I went. It was bit chilly so yes I had a hoodie on and my blanket and looked up and saw two beautiful ones right away! So I stayed out there and just kept seeing one and another. It was top five one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed. It was very eye-opening and made me reflect on how great and wonderful our God and universe really is. It takes peaceful moments sitting in your backyard with no lights, no sounds but nature and falling stars everywhere. Although my address is no longer in Adams County....LIFE IS GOOD!!!!
