DH and I love to garden. We have a very small 45'x4' raised bed in our back yard that we have completely overfilled with vegetables, seeds and flowers. We are out there every day pickin' and prunin' and making sure everything is watered well, etc. It's been great fun showing Avery all about growing things and I can't wait to eat the fruit of our labors!

I am a voracious reader. I didn't get to read much at all when I had Lilly but I have started back up now. Years ago I did cross-stitch like crazy. I've done a ton of things with that. But, once I had my first baby that went by the way side. Hard to do tiny stitches with needles and tons of threads with babies/toddlers around!

I'm also a pianist so I try to get some of that in too! It's also hard to do when you have little fingers around that always want to play when you do.

Jenn, we love fishing and camping too. We are going to the mountains to do just that for Art's vacation in May. We were going to go to Disneyland but that will have to wait until next year. I'm excited about going and doing actual "camping" this year. We don't have our motor home anymore so this should be a real adventure! I hope the bears don't get us!
