Dinner on the Patio

Dave and Sandra blessed us with the cutest little bistro set for our patio. It is the perfect fit! We ate dinner outside the other night and enjoyed the last days of summer. I made chicken parm and it was quite delicious!

 

Babysitting the Libby's

Tuesday night, Eric and I watched the Libby children for a few hours while Sandra and Dave were at a school event. We had a lot of fun! We spoiled them with breakfast for dinner, the Wii, and popcorn and a movie. We had a great time!

Josiah LOVES the camera!

Wakeboarding

He's in the zone.

She thinks she's playing!

Watching The Emperor's New Groove... one of Auntie Donna's favorites!

She preferred sitting on the floor.

We love quality time with our nieces and nephews!

America's Got Talent

Eric and I have sporadically watched America's Got Talent this season. It's a pretty unique show with many unique characters.

I'm partial to Prince Poppycock, who unfortunately got 4th place, and am really mad at Michael Grimm for coming in first because this girl deserved to win.

Check out 10 year old Jackie Evancho:

My First Peach Pie!

We had so many delicious peaches that I decided to make a peach pie! It was my first peach pie, but I was optimistic! My wonderful husband got some pictures of me baking! It was a lot of fun, and I came to realize that I really enjoy baking!

I found both recipes for the crusts and pie on allrecipes.com

A little artistic food photography...

And the finished product....

Just Peachy

Today, Eric and I embraced the beautiful day by going to Smolak Farm in North Andover. We picked peaches and raspberries! It was a perfect date day! Nearby, cheap, and DELICIOUS!

The peaches were so sweet and juicy! Fresh picked is the only way to go for raspberries! They were the best I've ever tasted!

And we ended the afternoon with tasty Smolak Cider Donut ice cream! Mmmm mmmm!

Tomorow I am going to bake a peach pie! (My first one, but I'm optimistic about it!) I wanted to make some sort of fruit tart with the raspberries... but they're almost gone! We couldn't resist!
