We have had a wonderful week. Fisher has played with so many friends: our neighbors, Titus, Max, Jack and Allie, Silas, am I forgetting someone? Each day, another friend. Also, Fisher went to BounzaPalooza, a place full of bounce house things. It cost's 5 bucks for a half hour. It was worth it. He needed to get some energy out. We also stopped by and visited our old neighbor, Bev. I don't know if Fisher remembered her, but he sure remembered the toy she used to always let him play with.

Fisher helping me skim the fat off the chicken broth.

I boiled the chicken broth down so it's very concentrated. I read about that somewhere and thought I'd try it. I tasted this broth because it just smelled so good. It tasted amazing. I think because it was so concentrated! This is great because it takes up less room in my very crowded freezer. I don't know what I'm going to do with all the pizza and ham n cheese pockets I made tonight.

Our magnolia tree out front is blooming for the 2nd time this summer. It's so pretty.

This is my front porch right now. I know, the red crate just adds so much. I don't know how that ended up there actually. I think Adam was sitting on it one night and there it stayed. This chair Rachel gave me a long time ago. The arm needs to be fixed and I want to refinish it but that is just one more "to do".

Finley is pulling himself up now. I do not remember Fisher doing this at 8 months. I don't think Fisher crawled until 9 months. Well, Finley has got me on the run now. Poor kid has hit his head numerous times. It's lumpy enough without all those blows to add to it.

Here's Fisher going down the giant slide at Bounza palooza.

Try as he might, Fisher could not climb up this.

He loved this dinosaur ride. For a quarter this dino went for quite a while.
