The Adventures of Radio Flyer

Here are some pictures of Thomas's recent adventures including his first ride in his little red wagon (a gift from one of Lance's former co-workers), a visit with cousin Jackson (who is a very good potato digger, by the way), a visit with cousins Carstyn, Chase, and Rae (whom we helped move into a new house), and a 6 mile hike with "Aunt" Betsy (on which Mommy carried him the whole way!)!

(Hold on tight, Thomas!)

(The biggest potato of all!)

(Bee and sunflower)

("Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see?"...)

(..."I see two little boys reading to me!")

(With Chase, Rae, and their sweet dog Mica who unfortunately got attacked by a neighbor's dog while we were helping Lance's brother's family move into a new house. She lost a couple of teeth but luckily nothing else. She was such a trooper!)

Give Peas a Chance

About a week ago, Thomas got to experience his very first garden peas. It must be a good sign that he likes them because English peas were reportedly Thomas Jefferson's favorite vegetable. Good brain food, let's hope.

Farmers Market Fun

The Jonesborough Farmers Market opened in May, and Thomas already loves it! (In truth, I think he likes the prospect of being strolled around town more than the prospect of ripe tomatoes. It won't be long, though, before he'll have his very own patch in the garden to grow heirloom vegetables from Monticello...or whatever he likes!)
