Look what we made!!!

    Meet the newest addition to the Rusty Roof crew, Ozzie!!! So now you know, this is what has been distracting us for the last 9 months! He is amazing! Born with all the abilities necessary for infant survival, he is a talented boy. Now Husband and I have so much to learn about him and ourselves.

   Like how to execute the perfect swaddle.

Sleep on demand.

Even taking a walk is a new adventure! Here is proud Husband and Dad with our boy wrapped up in his Moby ( a baby carrying device ) walking the farm after a snowstorm that descended on Seattle just days after Ozzie was born. We called it the "Blizzard of Oz."


We couldn't have made it through those first weeks without the help of our family. My Mom cooked and presented us with this fantastic chicken dinner complete with a snow filled flower pot used to chill the champagne. She also picked and steamed some greens from our over-wintering kale and collard plants. It was such a balm to my overwhelmed body and spirit and we toasted our lovely baby and new outlook on our lives.


So, not to worry this will not become a baby centered blog! Although he will play a starring role we still have so much work to do in our yard and garden. There are still many projects that we are itching to do and times a wasting ( ok, so maybe there is no wasted time with a new baby ). But hey! It's February already and peas need to be planted and roses and fruit trees pruned!   


So stay tuned! I will leave you with this sweet video of Ozzie and Husband that just about melts my heart. Awwwww. 'Til next time!
