Picking blueberries

For the first time that I can remember, we have a bumper crop of blueberries! I couldn't help myself but to set to picking. I tried to keep M entertained by planting her in the patch with a few pots and berries of her own. It took a few forays off mat to figure out that the blueberry patch did not feel good under hand or knee, and a few tastes of other plants to realize that the blueberry was tastiest.

"ouch!"

Blueberries for Margaret

Yum...those crunchy twigs sure do taste delicious. Guess you don't have to worry about her getting enough fiber. Love all the gurgles and sounds that she's making.
love to everyone,
Joannie

WOW!!! I cannot believe Margaret's growth. Freddy and I watched the videos and looked at the pictures this morning so we could catch up with Freddy's buddy Margaret. Freddy got excited and started talking back to Margaret. He misses her! Thanks for keeping us updated. I can't wait to get the babies back together for the long flight home.
Love,
Lindsay

Blueberries for Margaret (or Sal) was the first thing Brad and I thought of when we saw the first pictures. Brad has been meaning to ask about the blueberry crop. I'm so glad it has finally come back! All that wacking we all did payed off!

YAY! All that hard work paid off, I can't wait to have some bona fide wild blueberries (the ones here in California just don't cut it).

i'm honored that the naked baby time blanket ranks high enough to be hauled around the world for blueberry picking.

I left Nicky in the room while he was still sleeping. I came back to him on my computer looking at videos of Margaret. He would watch all of them over and over.
Love you guys,
Joannie
