Adoption Picnic

Today we attended an adoption picnic hosted by our Adoption Agency. Olivia did very well to be around so many new people. She even allowed the clown to make her a ballon apple. After the 3rd trip to see him. The first time Daddy and Olivia were in line and she saw the clown she turned around, located me and started running as fast as her little legs would let her! The second trip she slithered through Daddy's legs backwards and was back paddling back to Mom. The third time Daddy and Olivia walked up and then I joined a few minutes later, she stayed but she was in my arms hanging on for dear life! HAHAHA

After we left the picnic we went to Wegman's (a local grocery market) to get some green beans, apples and a few other things so that we could continue to can! YES, we are canning! We made raspberry jam, apple butter, and green beans! YUM YUM The smells are bringing back such great memories of being a kid and canning in the sweltering kitchen of my Grandmothers kitchen! WAYYYY before air conditioning! WHOA!! Chris is really getting excited about the process of being able to can meats! He is marinating some pork to make pork sausage! That I am sooo looking forward to sinking my teeth into! There is nothing like homemade sausage!
