What I've been up to

The other day my friend Desire came over and we made jam, real bottled jam! I've only attempted freezer jam up until now. I made one batch of strawberry and one batch of raspberry (thinking of you Mom). I was surprised how easy it was and that I had all the tools to do it. I love my food processor, it chopped all my fruit into little bits in seconds. They turned out great and so so yummy!

- strawberry is on the left, the raspberry is on the right -

Other than that all my focus has been on potty training Jacob. He has been out of diapers during the day since Memorial Day weekend. It has been hard to find underwear that fits him and that he likes, but this week I did find some and he is wearing them. So I don't have a streak running around my house anymore.

I've also been walking on my treadmill again and trying to get ready for jogging. I'm scared of hurting my foot, it isn't better yet, but I'm "testing the waters" and seeing what I can and can't do. I worked out 6 out of 7 days last week and aim to repeat that this week. It feels so good to be exercising and doing cardio again.

This morning I decided to take some pictures of the boys;

My observation: Jacob is so white next to Daniel. I love the expression on Daniel's face...



And this is a good shot of Daniel's "orange nose" I guess I feed him too many carrots and yams;

The two of them... and my toe.
