Aidan's Dance Moves

Aidan loves to dance (and Lauren is really catching on, too)! He asked me to buy this song because apparently the counselors at his summer program at the university (college kids) performed a skit to it one day. He seems to remember a lot of their choreography--check him out at about 7 seconds in. They crack us up!

Fun with Canning

Blueberry jam, peach jam, dilly beans...we've been in food-preservation mode around here. It feels like there is such a bounty of delicious produce available here right now, and we're looking forward to enjoying the jam and pickles during the rainy winter. Aidan starts first grade tomorrow, so I'll be sure to post a picture of him!
