Things are starting to look like fall around here but it certainly doesn’t feel like it.  It has been so hot and dry.  Our lawn and garden are dead, my black beauty bell peppers that were well on their way to glory are shriveled up and falling of the plants.  I didn’t get any last year, either.  Maybe next time.  Or maybe I’ll just plant flowers.

And now it’s time for an Evelyn June update:  She is still a sweet petite, only weighing 13 pounds, 4 ounces at her six-month check up a few weeks ago but she is big on personality and is in to everything!  She has mastered the log roll and will follow you around the room, or launch her little body off the bed, which she demonstrated for us yesterday.  Now she is on her way to crawling and can get up on all fours and rock back and forth or she’ll do an army crawl and drag herself to where she thinks she needs to be (which is usually where the computer or other electrical cables are).  Time for some major baby-proofing or at least some of those plastic gates that link together to make a corral.  Baby herding at it’s finest!

What a great start to autumn!  The weather has been amazing- temps in the low seventies and sun, sun, sun.  Our little family headed down to Taste of Madison on Saturday for some good local food and free music.

Evelyn got to crowd surf with her daddy at the WJJO stage.  I think Taproot was playing.  She also got a poster signed by The Veer Union.  Little rocker girl.

The food was all so good. We had barbeque ribs, Polish sausage, hand cut fries, grilled chicken tortillas, chocolate chip cookie dough eggrolls (our favorite!), raspberry-orange gelato coolers and Evelyn had green beans and rice (yum!).  We sat and enjoyed it on the capitol lawn, and, yes, that is my glass of beer in the stroller’s cup holder.  I hate to say it but I could have eaten more- I was hungry an hour after we got home.  There’s always next year.
