Growing garden and belly!

First, Happy Father's Day to Mike and fathers everywhere! We celebrated with a delicious huckleberry pancake and bacon breakfast. Mike is my hero in so many different ways. He is so patient and understanding. He brings so much happiness into my life and I know he will just love and be adored by our little girl too. I mean can't you just see how close she likes to be to him?? ;)

Here are some pictures of our garden. Last week we had a FHE weeding and thinning out some of the veggies with the Pickups. It was fun the first time, but I'm not enjoying it as much since I am getting bigger. In the picture below you can see our corn, squash plants, onions and peas.

This one includes our zealous tomato plants (back right), string beans (with the strings), pepper plants (front middle) and carrots (middle back.) Mike and Brian came up with the ingenious string method for the string beans to grow up on. It is looking promising so far, and was definitely the most economical idea. We had planted radishes earlier and they have actually already been harvested. Do you like radishes? Call me or leave a comment if you are interested because Mike and I have a few too many for our liking.

Lastly, another belly shot of me nearing 37 weeks... close to full term! Hurray!

So... how about a name!

BRINLEY... BRINLEE.... BRYNLEY... BRYNLEE... or BRYNLEIGH??!!

I think we have finally found the right name! The name came to me and kind of just stuck one Sunday morning. I was sitting in church and "Brinley" popped into my head. I had a good feeling about it, and I think our little girl liked it too. What the biggest surprise was that Mike actually approved of it! :) So, now how to spell it. I think my personal favorite is Brynlee, but I have a feeling that might not go over well with Mike. His favorite spelling is Brinley. I guess we'll see which spelling wins!... Stay tuned... the results will be posted!
