No joy

So...my friends and family are telling me they can't see the videos when the blog emails them. Hmmm.

I added myself to the email list and also didn't get the video. I tried changing a setting or two but I think this is just the limitation of the email notification feature.

Ok...so the best I can do is say that when it emails me there is a link to the blog at the bottom of the email that looks like this:

Posted By Posegates to Evan and his loyal entourage at 8/11/2009 09:35:00 PM

To see the video or other content I guess you have to click there and actually go to the blog. The email thing is just a notification, I guess. Bummer.

Hope that helps.

Testing, testing

So...my friends and family are telling me they can't see the videos when the blog emails them. Hmmm.

Let's try this.

Blueberries

Yesterday, Evan and I took a little trip to Grisamore Farms. It was a lot of fun! We said hello to the animals, looked around the little country shop (and I resisted the yarn!)and eventually got out the the blueberries to start picking.



The picking was easy and I managed to pick more than 7 pounds all by myself. Evan was with me but I don't think he put a single berry in the bucket...they all went into his mouth! The berries were huge and SO yummy.

Here's our spoils and what we did with them. YUM!

New Favorite Game

As I'm sure my readers are aware...Evan LOVES books. He would let me read to him all day every day if I had the patience to do it. :) He "reads" to himself for long stretches and makes piles of books so he knows which have been read and which are still waiting to be read.

Lately, he's been really into the words. Asking "How do you spell...?" and "What does that say?" etc. So it's no surprise that this is his new favorite game. Another variation is for him to make a long line of blocks and then ask me what it says.

How exactly do you pronounce "TGNRAPQZMMNOAD"?

Please note that we only have one D in our block set so we were using the lower case P as a d. So, it looks like pDA sometimes etc.

I love that he thinks this is so funny. Sorry for the jiggly camera work...I was laughing too.

Lazy Summer

It's been a nice lazy summer. We've been flying airplanes, knitting, reading, playing. We haven't traveled too much and have enjoyed staying home doing this and that.

Last night Evan and I went to the flying field with Russ and his Dad. During one flight Poppy crashed a bit and lost his landing gear. He and Russ wandered around in the tall grass for several minutes looking with no luck. Then another guy flying there went out to join them. Still no luck. Since no one was flying at that point I figured it was safe for Evan and I to go out and lend our eyeballs to the cause. As I set Evan down in the tall grass I made a snide comment about how he would probably be the one to find the wheels on a wire. The "other guy" said..."He should, he's closest to the ground." We all chuckled. Not two minutes later we look up from our searching to see little Evan standing there proud as punch holding the landing gear. It was the sweetest, cutest thing. He was so proud of himself. And I was proud of him too.

Today we built a zoo.



He was REALLY excited about this...it was pretty fun. And we used every block we had. :)
