Its been a really really busy summer for me. So busy that many of my eco living ways were thrown out the door (temporarily, I hope). It's really not that convenient trying to be green. I have recently eaten many packaged foods (more fast food than normal too) and I haven't cloth diapered in close to 2 months. Plus my hopes in starting a compost pile has dwindled, perhaps next year I'll get around to it. But somehow I found a little time to try to grow something...
As some of you have seen in one of my past post (see here), you would prob remember that I recently took a stab at gardening. Oh boy, I'm so embarrassed to admit that I'm absolutely terrible at it! Its my second season of attempting it too. Last year was a horrible year where I tried to grow some zucchini. I didn't know this but zucchini can over take your yard in an instant. The leaves which shade the fruit are really huge and in a matter of weeks can block other plants if its not situated in a good spot.
Anyways, my mom and father in law convinced me to try again. This time with tomatoes. Everyone told me that "oh its easy!" or "all you have to do is water it". Um, well...let's just say that what happened last year had repeated itself. While other people I know growing tomatoes have already harvested large amounts, mine just started to turn from green to a pale pink. I'd say I have to wait at least a couple more weeks for my harvest to ripen. Apart from growing tomatoes, there's green beans somewhere in the mix. Its just a mess out there. The plants hit my legs while I'm trying to water them every morning.
On a brighter note, the Ceej has started walking. Within a matter of weeks, he looked from being a baby into a full on toddler. Actually, he looks like a total kid now.
Also, yesterday I saw Julie & Julia. The best movie of the summer, fo sho!

Babies can wear leg warmers
Yes, its cute on babies! Not too cute on adults though.
Today I made my second pair of baby leg warmers (aka Baby Legs). I could never justify paying $12+ for one pair so I made my own. I saw a DIY tutorial here. It only cost me $1.97 for the socks and about 5 minutes of picture taking to get a decent picture of the Ceej in them. He's too active to even get one good shot of him nowadays. Growing up too fast!

Spring time means babies!
I love Spring time! The weather becomes nice and breezy. The fruit selection gets better. And babies are poppin' out! I'm excited to have more of Ceej's friends coming out to play! :) Here are the first of many hand sewn gifts for friends to enjoy!
Burp Clothes. Every baby needs these. They spit up all over the place, esp. in the first 3 months. This one time I found spit up in my hair. Gross.
This laundry bag makes me happy. Its so bright and cheery. It makes me want to do laundry!!!

Ching Baby 3
My dad frequently likes to number things. Currently he has a handful of laptops which are labeled Ching 1,2,3,4, etc. He also has Canon cameras that are also labeled Ching 1,2,3,4, etc. He also has these vacuum water canisters that are labeled Ching 1,2,3,4,etc. So, this is Ching baby 3. Welcome to the world Isaiah Emmanuel Yeung. Born 6 weeks early at a little over 5 pounds on March 1st, 2009. He's a little peanut but will grow to be bigger than his sister Miriya very soon. This is the 3rd grand child in our family in 20 months!
