we are so glad that ann, jim, james and julia have moved back to colorado! ann and the kids flew back last saturday and stayed with us until jim drove in on wednesday night. it was 5 kids under 3 years old. just use your imagination. :) i think the kids really enjoyed playing together and it was fun to hang out with aunt ann. we were exhausted each afternoon by naptime and each evening by bedtime. but i think they all did great.
during their stay we received our first "harvest" from our csa. (community garden type thing) because of all the late snows most of the veggies aren't quite ready to pick. but we did receive a bag with kale, swiss chard, arugala, spinach, radishes and garlic scapes. ann and i got on the computer to look up recipes and she fixed a wonderful healthy, local soup with kale, beans, and keibasa. then she did a saute with the swiss chard, garlic scapes and radishes. it was fun to eat some things that we had never eaten before. and knowing that they had just been picked from a garden less than 5 miles from us instead of being in a truck for days driving thousands of miles to get to our store was very rewarding.
