Sweat Equity

We started working on our house this past weekend. The tree is in process of coming down (the crew had to stop because it was lightning and raining), all the bushes are out and the electrician is almost done updating the electric system. Yesterday Cameron and I removed the carpet while Emma stayed with Grammy Douglas.

Here are some before and after pictures.

Strawberry Picking + Eating

Our little goofball decided to eat some strawberries after all the hard work of picking them up:

Hopefully we can continue doing this every year.

Strawberry Festival

Last Saturday we went with some friends to a Strawberry Festival; this was my first time in an event such as this and it was quite an experience. There was tons of food, lots of strawberry dishes, music, games, and much more.



One of the signature dishes was strawberry donuts. There was a long line to get these hot donuts but at the end it was worth it.


It was a very hot day but that didn't stop Emma from taking a nap:
