Moments of peace
The funny thing about a blog is that the most sweet pictures are chosen, the funny and happy stories most often typed out, and what you see does not show the whole picture. Like Mama in tears because of macaroni and cheese (I don’t remember the details- I just remember the emotions had something to do with said pasta), or Jude yelling ‘NO’ and disobeying for the 100th time that day, or newborn poop flying everywhere during a diaper change, including into Mama’s glass of water. No, what you see on here are the sweet and peaceful Fouche moments, but don’t let that fool you for a second. Now to go get a new glass of water before I post some pictures…
Owen looks like Andrew in that top photo!! Wow, he’s growing so fast!!!! He’s a cutie for sure!!

Remember - history (and blogs) is written by the winner…you’re doing a great and admirable job. It already shows in Jude and will in Owen too. I like all the things you are teaching him (them), both overtly and by example. And yes, by all means, plant the egg carton. The seedling roots will already have penetrated the paper and you’ll have a lot less transplant shock if you just cut the apart the carton’s compartments. But it’s also a good idea to gently break the individual compartments up a bit slightly because even though the micro roots are already penetrating the paper the roots can be a little ‘potbound’ before the carton actually decomposes enough. The same thing happen with peat pots if they’re too heavy at first. I usually just give them a gentle squeeze as they go in the ground to make them break apart a bit so the roots free up.
Doesn’t laundry wash it’s self and put it’s self away all by it’s self? heehee…I’m getting spoiled!
