Earth Day 2009

In celebration of Earth Day we decided to plant a vegetable garden for William. Grandma and Pawpaw were here for a visit and were such a big help! We will post more about their visit as soon as we can. We realize Will's birthday pics are still not up yet...sorry!

We went to Schulz's Nursery in Marion to make our plant purchases and William was very serious about it. He was so cute! That boy has such a unique personality, and when he concentrates on something, he really concentrates. He picked some tomato plants, okra, bell peppers, swiss chard, squash, and some other herbs and flowers. William really enjoyed picking the plants and placing them in our cart. He is such a big boy now! Pawpaw and Daddy actually built the garden and did all the manual labor while William napped. Once nap time was over Will planted just 2 plants, and then he was done. Everyone else planted a few and we think the garden looks fantastic. We might have William paint the border of the garden to really make it his.

Thank you SO much to Pawpaw and Grandma for all of their help. We can't wait to have some fresh produce from our garden! Happy Earth Day everyone!!! Here are some cute pictures we captured today.

Before we forget, we saw this on the blog for a scrapbooking store in New Braunfels, The Scrapbook Haus, that Sara loves, and we think it is an AWESOME project. Please check it out!

Hugs to all,
The Tates
