a girl and her dad

Selene is most definitly a daddy's girl. she has his toenails. she has his ability to fall asleep almost anywear



this is Matt asleep in a toybox




Matt works from home alot, and Selene enjoys going into his office and playing. If either one of us is working on a computer, she wants to help. She is really good at turning on options we didn't know existed by pressing random keys.



My garden this year was pretty pathetic. We got it in way too late, as we were waiting for the grass seed to take before we walked on it. pictured below, is a jalepeno plant. there are a few jalapenos on it, and then these tomatoe looking things . . . .anybody know if those are normal, we were kind of wondering if there was some cross polination going on, as it was right next to a tomatoe plant.
My zuccini plant has finally taken, but I don't think we are going to get any zuccini before it starts to freeze. My radishes have grown really well, and I have gotten one tomatoe. my lettuce is growing pretty well, but my carrots are not. they have leaves, but no roots. My strawberry plants are growing really well, but are bearing no fruit. I know what the problem is. . . . . the soil. the soil where I live has a ton of clay in it. next summer I am going to get some Mels Mix soil and fill my garden with it. . . that stuff is supposed to be able to grow anything. so better luck next year I guess. I hate vegetables out of the store. I think they are gross. tomorrow I am off to Idaho with Selene for a family reunion. I am way excited to go, but I hate that I am leaving Matt here.

Matt's company is doing great. It looks like they are going to be getting funding, and will probably be building an office building across from thanksgiving point. Its getting very exciting for us. Hopefully it will all work out for the best.
