Blueberry Bash 2010
We had a great time at the Blueberry Bash this year with Elaine and Sophie! It was hot and humid, but that didn’t stop the 3-year-olds from running around the farm like crazy.

Terhune’s 6/11/10
Natalie, Miranda, and I had a great time last Friday introducing our friends Abby and Annabelle to Terhune’s. It was a picture-perfect day, although the girls’ sun hats make photographing their smiling faces difficult! I noticed that the old black goat and the old grey goat are gone, and there are two new kids the same breed of goat as Hans and Rupert. I’m kinda afraid to ask what happened to them.
C’mon Annabelle Natalie wasn’t actually patient enough to walk with Annabelle, who is still learning.

A Great Adventure
I am so, so lucky to have a “marvelous” group of friends* who I met through a breastfeeding support group I went to when Natalie was just 8 weeks old. I definitely would not be surviving or enjoying motherhood as much if it weren’t for them. Since Natalie was about 3 months old, I’ve gone to a mom’s night out that I look forward to every single month. Our kids have become friends and have enjoyed playdates, birthday parties, and outings of all sorts throughout the last 3 ½ years. Last year I think we had a baby shower almost every month as friends prepared to have their second babies, and in turn my friends threw me a lovely baby shower before Miranda was born.
A lot of friends have season passes to Six Flags Great Adventure and I wanted to go with them once before I return to work next week. Since I get motion sick, other moms (and dad) were gracious enough to take Natalie on the rides that she couldn’t go on by herself. Although amusement parks are not my favorite, Natalie and I had such a great time with our friends that I’m sad that my work schedule will prevent us from joining in on the weekly great adventure outings!
Natalie and Mama Ready for fun!
Amy & Jen Jen was nice enough to give me her "bring a friend free" coupons so I didn’t have to pay admission!!

Miranda and Mama Luckily, Chad had this extra hat in his diaper bag to lend us….I pulled Miranda’s hat out of our diaper bag and it was covered in mysterious brown spots.
