More catching up

Aug's been helping with the gardening. We had good crops of yellow squash and zucchini, and we grew more tomatoes that we could eat. We really tried to use all the tomatoes.. I made soups, sauces, mixed drinks, sandwiches and pizzas. Nevertheless, between 1/4 and 1/2 of them ended up in the compost bin.

We're still working on our Red Sox early fan training. We recognize Big Papi and Manny by sight, and we've learned to raise our hands just like Manny when he hits a home run. Jen has been working with him on proper Red Sox fan neurotics (can/should we watch the game without affecting its outcome through our viewing, not saying anything positive about winning the game until we've actually won the game, how and why it's okay to fear the bullpen). We've got a ways to go still, as he has learned to annoy his mother with the phrase "I wish I could help the Yankees"!

Upcoming posts: Auggie learns to fish, We learn about Candy and Matchbox cars, pumpkin patch shenanigans, trike riding pictures and videos.
