My mother came to my house today and my sister came over and we made rhubarb relish and rhubarb jam. My kitchen was a disaster! But mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, rhubarb relish! And even more mmmmmmmmmmmm, rhubarb jam!
Ambera and I are going to do more canning this summer. I haven’t done any since 2004. It’s something I really love to do, but don’t do often enough. This summer is going far too quickly and the weather has been miserable. There have only been two days this June that I’ve been able to go outside in just a t-shirt and been comfortable.

You know? I really, really love being a mom. It goes beyond the fact that Ash is amazing… it’s the absolute joy and love that he brings to me without even trying. I’ve never laughed or smiled so much in my life. I don’t mind the early wakeup calls (between 4-5am), breastfeeding is going strong, he’s very close to walking (he took his first step the other day, but it was an accident), he’s starting to laugh at things besides being tickled which is great because it brings on us being silly. He got four teeth in the past couple of weeks and didn’t complain. I think being a mother brings out the best in me. I love who I am right now. I never want it to stop.
