Modifying HTML

So, I don't really know much about HTML. I have just learned it as I go and stealing other code. I made a few delicate changes in the HTML for our blog. Can you tell what they are?

So I have been thinking to myself I really need to update our blog. I apologize for taking so long. So here are some pictures of our past month.
We finally got Michael to move from his toddler bed to the "big" bed. We went to the store and let him choose out a comforter for the twin bed. He chose Thomas the Tank Engine and calls it "his blanket."


Michael and Isaac are starting to play with each other and really enjoying it! Here Michael is pushing Isaac on this little toy and Isaac is having a great time.
We found out that Isaac loves to rock on rocking chairs. He also loves swings, no pictures of that, sorry. So here is us!

Isaac is becoming more and more mobile. He really enjoys cruising along the furniture. Dad had put him up against the toddler bed, and when we came back in the room, he was looking through the toys. He is getting so grown up!

Many have asked for an update on our garden. So here it is. The beans and peas are all but done producing! I got about 20 pea pods and 20 string beans. They only came a handful at a time, but they were really good! Next year I will have to plant more than just the small rows I did this year. They were great in the stew I made, though I only had a handful of them.


The pumpkin,
and zucchini are flowering like mad, but no fruit has decided to come yet. I hope it will come soon, but only time will tell.

The lettuce and spinach I have been using in small amounts in salads and on tacos for a couple of weeks now, and the carrots are finally getting a size that no longer worries me-i wasn't sure they were even going to grow. They were just slower than the other plants. And the tomato plants are getting larger.
Other than that, life is going well. Dad is taking one class this summer, and we are talking about what to do when he gets his masters. Projected time for the masters: December, if all goes well.
Life just keeps going and changing. We had some neighbors find a job last Monday, the moved last Friday to Virginia! Life can change quickly like that, so who knows what will happen with us!

Oh, and we have one lime on our $40 lime tree. It better be a good lime.

Mother's Day.


Unlike some other holidays that I have expressed opinions on, I really like Mother's day. I think this is rooted in the early years where as a primary child, I would go to the stand and sing a short medley of songs with the rest of the primary children as an ode to our mothers. I was probably the child that always tried to stand up in the front, or sing the loudest or some other way of showing my love and appreciation to my mother.

Gifts are not really the important thing for this holiday. We would make something homemade for our mother. Maybe it was a card. If we ever bought anything for her it would have been some Andes mints. Gifts were not really important. Or that is how we felt.

I was thinking about lots of options I had this mother's day. I still keep up the same traditions for mother's day with my mom... I called her. Michael smiled and waved from the stand. It was really nice for us. Anyway, Breakfast at the table and a hug from the boys seems to be the best gift we could give her. I was going to get her flowers, but I was excused from that since I gave her flowers when I went to Orlando for a conference.

So, just a simple I love you will have to do.

I love you.
