The Fruit of our Labors


We (this is not the royal we either, every one of us, even Hazel) worked yesterday from 8:30ish to 3:30ish bottling all the peaches. Truman and Rebekah worked the longest shifts. Nate and Hazel did nap which was lifesaving. Christian sacrificed and played play dough with Hazel for a bit. We bottled 60 quarts of peaches and made 12 pints of peach preserves. We still had enough peaches left over to make a beautiful pie and everyone had all the peaches they cared to eat for breakfast. There is a great sense of accomplishment and pride in our family today.

I am amazed at all the activities you accomplish with 7 kids! You are my inspiration. It is going to be fun staying in touch through our blogs!

Were the peaches as good as the peaches off Grandma Cornwall's trees in Utah? I know how you always liked those.
