OK so it's been a while. That should also be an indication of how much work has gone on inside the house! None...
However we have been busy doing lots of things! Heading into fall there is always alot to do around the farm. My Father-in-law is busy chopping corn. Todds brother is putting up a new garage and of course Fall means the wineries in the area are harvesting their crop! Last weekend our good friends, Jeff & Erica, came up and we went to a winery in St. Croix Falls. It was wonderful! We had a great time.
Then on Monday we went out to eat with my parents to celebrate their 30th anniversary! Wow 30 years! It was another great time. So tonight Todd is finally getting to bottling the beer that he brewed several weeks ago and Isabelle and I took some photos.
The irony of this photo just makes me laugh!
One of the best tips that Todd has received when transferring beer from one vessel to another is to do this on the door of a dishwasher. If you spill then the clean up is easy! I love this idea. Todd unfortunately had to do this twice tonight because he forgot to "Prime" each bottle. you will have to ask him what that means however it meant that he had to open and empty every bottle back into the 5 gal. bucket. Then prime each bottle and pour again. Oh well at least he remembered to do it, other wise that batch would not have turned out well.
Isabelle had her 8 month check up and is healthy as a horse! She is now 21lbs and 6 oz. She is also a whopping 29.5'' tall. I tried to say 30" but the tall nurse insisted 29.5''. Isabelle I tried!
Climbing everywhere is our new favorite game. Under, Over, where ever she can get. The stairs photo is just after she crawled up 3 stairs by herself for the first time. We are not encouraging this!
I love bath time with Isabelle and we are looking forward to having a bath tub that she can really splash in!
One last Smile to tide you all over until the next post! Still only 2 teeth but we are growing and changing every day in every way!
