Mmmmm....Strawberries!

We get calls every day from people wanting to pick fresh, ripe organic strawberries. We've never grown them before so we decided to try some out this year for ourselves before we dive into commercial production. Marc planted 200 everbearing plants which will give us a steady supply of berries, unlike the "June bearing" types which ripen all at once.
Here's a pic of Journey picking the rirst ripe strawberries! Since we don't use any chemicals she can eat them right in the garden without washing.

After Mommy, Grandma and Aunt Mary did a "photo shoot" for the Country Peddler Show showcasing the baby accessories that Grandma and Mommy are making, Journey decided to take her first swim!

Journey likes the cool water!

Journey

Little Journey finally arrived, at 10:25 on Wednesday, December 9, 2009. Here are a few pictures of her getting ready to leave the hospital to go home.

Waiting on Journey

Stephanie went into the hospital Sunday at noon. After an afternoon & night of various medications, she was dilated to almost 2 cm. She had a cough when she went in which kept getting worse, so the nurse did a flu test, which came back positive. The dr. decided to wait on the induction until she was feeling better (100 degree fever and labor - bad combination). She is still in the hospital, the dr. wants to keep her and watch her until tomorrow. If she is not dilated any further she will go home to rest and go back to the hospital Thursday or Friday. If she is dilated to 3 cm the dr. will reevaluate what to do...
