Nilsson News

We do have some actual news for this week!  We went to Brigham City for our 20 week ultrasound appointment.  All is looking good and there appears to be one baby and it looks like it's another sister!  We are pretty good at the alternating thing.  Addy is very excited and Emerson I think is pretending to be disappointed.  Eliza is always excited about babies and Henry hasn't a clue.  I wonder if he is curious as to why I don't have much lap room left.
The farm life is going well. Yesterday, Garrett had the privilege of loading and unloading 1 1/2 tons of hay.  I was actually quite jealous but I guess I'll have to wait until next year to do it.  Our wonderful next door neighbor who is in his 70's came over to help unload all the hay.  He picked up the first bale and said "This is nothing!"  (He had previously unloaded some bales for us that were 100 lbs each and these were around 50).  Garrett, who had just loaded all these bales onto the trailer by himself leaned over and said, "Actually, they are really heavy!"  He is getting quite an introduction to farm life!  The cuteness factor of the donkeys makes up for all the work.  We are eyeing a mini cart on craigslist because it would be a blast to train the donks to pull.
Canning season has come to a close I think, thanks to mom for finishing my last batch of spaghetti sauce.  It was a good harvest year and we are now enjoying some beautiful fall weather.  Yesterday we went to the farmer's market for the final time this season.  We splurged and bought some crepes, which were absolutely incredible!  Here is a variation for the next time you make crepes:
feta cheese
sundried tomatoes
spinach leaves
pesto sauce
You will not be disappointed!
