Summer Days

I was in the kitchen the other day when I noticed that the fridge door was open. I didn't think much of it and closed it. Then Jack runs into the room with a strawberry shouting "apple apple!" So I put him in his highchair to eat it. He loves these red juicy "apples", though it doesn't look like it in this picture. Stolen strawberries are a bit sour.

Then I went into the living room and found Patrick with the rest of the strawberries.

He ate one of them.

He didn't like his first taste of rice cereal quite so much. After 3 days of it, he's come to like it. He gets excited about eating from a spoon. Though he isn't so keen on the flavor (or lack there of.) Can't blame him.

While we're on a food theme here... I started roasting my own coffee beans. I've been wanting to do this for years. I finally found the right kind of popcorn popper to do so for $7 at Goodwill. I placed my order online for 8 lbs of green coffee beans. They arrived yesterday. Ironically, it is the hottest weekend we've had all summer. Hitting the 90's. But I roasted some beans in my popcorn popper and this mornign we enjoyed our first cups of home roasted coffee. I can honestly say that it is some of the best coffee I've ever had. All you coffee drinkers, come visit for a taste! Non-local relatives, come on out and visit. If not for the babies, do it for the coffee.
