We were recently blessed with a half bushel of the biggest apples I’ve ever seen. In case you are wondering, a half bushel is a lot of apples.

My cousin, Katie, spent the night with us last week. The boys woke her up at the crack of dawn and they all had a stuffed animal war in the hallway. Jon’s exact words were “Can she live with us forever?” Conclusion: if you want my kids to adore you, let them whop you with toys at 6:30 am.

“Starting them off early, huh?” I said to Caleb.

“They asked me to explain the parts to them,” he replied. And then he grinned for a week.
