For the love of corn

What got the biggest cheer during the Grinnell Fourth of July parade?? The truck belonging to the most popular sweet corn growers in town, of course! Everyone was yelling, "When will the corn be ready?" Apparently in about two weeks. We are serious about corn here.

Update

I know, I know, I need to get more pictures up from our Indy trip! I haven't even gotten them off the camera yet! I hope I have some good pics of Uncle Tim and Aunt Mindy's wedding, because it was a gorgeous night, the wedding was outside on their seven acres, and we had lots of fun.

Especially the kids, who ran around all night with their new cousins and their cousins' cousins. There were kids from age 7 to 16, so M4 was the youngest. I was so surprised, because he wasn't shy at all! He jumped right in! I think it helped that the older boys and girls all sort of took him under their wing. Ordinarily, he's overwhelmed by that kind of situation (as is currently the case at the summer day camp he and sis are attending twice a week). M3 seemed a bit excluded from the older girls (sigh...), but she eventually connected with the seven-year-old cousin from Texas and they seemed to have fun.

We have been rushing around getting our house ready to sell; hence, my lack of picture-wrangling. We put it on the market today!! Wish us luck!

Creative girl

By the way, I wanted to thank my friend Jenn for making the pretty header for the blog. Doesn't she take fabulous pictures?

What did we just do?

Well, this was sort of unexpected, but we just agreed to buy this house:

I know this is a tiny picture. I'll get a bigger one soon. This house is actually next door to our own. Come visit soon! We'll have plenty of room!

What we're doing this week

Well, we've been in Indianapolis for an extended visit, seeing as how Nana and Boppa's 50th wedding anniversary was last weekend and Uncle Tim's wedding is this weekend. That's a lot of partyin'! 50 years in pretty darn amazing! Thank you, Aunt Wendy, for being event planner extraordinaire!

In the meantime, the kids and I have done some fun stuff...yesterday six hours at the zoo; today the Children's Museum. Here's some pics:

Is it real?

Or is it sushi M3 carefully fashioned out of Playdough?
