Matt + Janae

We had my Mom over for Mother's Day where we enjoyed crab and seafood stuffed salmon among other yummies. I love my Mom and it's wonderful that she's close so we can enjoy such holidays together. How grateful I am for all she has sacrificed to raise her 3 kids BY HERSELF!!! I have a pregnant wife and have incredible respect for ANY parent for what they have gone through...and our baby isn't even here yet!

Is this Janae's first Mother's Day? Jason Greenfeld put it best when he said it depends on which political ideology you subscribe to. I hedged my bet and treated it as such. It'll be less of a question for next year. Born? Not yet. Mother? Maybe. Mother-to-be? Definitely. Alive? Definitely. The thing is kicking! I felt it for the first time today, May 20th. The baby girl is alive and well.

A few weeks ago at a monthly welfare meeting at church, Suze Chapman mentioned she wanted to do a gardening class for whoever may be interested and needed a place to host the event.

"You need a place to plant a garden? You can plant one in my backyard if you'd like." I quickly replied before someones else took the free garden.

Suze showed up with her husband and a Roto-Tiller to prep my ground and showed me how to set-up weed-free, virtually maintenance-free black-plastic gardening. Supposedly, I just need to plant and wait. I've planted. I've done nothing else and the tomatoes, zucchini, squash, and peppers are starting to come up!
