The Boys, The Dogs, and Food!

We were back at the pool tonight for round two of Jonathan's swim lessons! His kick is getting better already and now he is working on relaxing on his back to do a back float... Yesterday, Holly discovered a bunny nest in the middle of our backyard. Somehow, the bunnies must have been born between when I let them out around 7:30 and 12:30 because suddenly Holly was guarding the nest. She literally stood like this for 20 minutes and would have stayed longer if I didn't interrupt her...

Holly is funny because she won't actually hurt the baby bunnies. We've had this same situation for the past several years and she just guards the babies. Athena on the other hand... well, the nest didn't last very long once she got ahold of it. Sometimes there is nothing you can do when you have hunting dogs... Also in the backyard, the garden beds are starting to look great! Our lettuce and greens are flourishing!

This weekend we will be taking a trip down to the River Market to pick up the rest of our starter plants for our vegetable gardens. So exciting! One of my favorite things about the garden is picking the food and cooking it a few minutes later. I've been obsessed with this cookbook...

I can't wait to incorporate some of our fresh veggies into Chef Chloe's recipes! Here are her pizza burgers with avocado pesto...

And tonight we had the pasta with "pink sauce..."

...accompanied by sautéed squash and zucchini. All completely vegan and completely delicious!

By the way, this post is the 2001st post on the Baby Wogs blog. When we started this, I thought we would just do the blog for the first year of Christopher's life. I can't imagine everything we would have missed if I stopped there!
