More About the Family

It's been over a week since my last post and it's time to tell you more about our family.

We cloth diaper, mostly for the sake of money. Overnight we still use disposables to keep Harper more comfortable, and when we go out in the heat we use disposables. Hopefully when we move to New Hampshire it will be nice and cool outside so we won't need the disposables when we go out anymore. I'm just apprehensive about carrying a bag of poopy diapers around with me... I'm not sure if my diaper bag is big enough for that.

I prefer natural foods and products around the house, but honestly right now the pricetag is the first thing at which I look. At some point I really want to have a vegetable garden but at this point I know I'm not ready for that. Duncan has also recently expressed a desire to have laying hens in the future, which I'm all for-- as long as Duncan cleans out the hen house. While we're at it we should have several fruit trees and a dairy cow. And a guard cheetah. I really want a guard cheetah.

Duncan and I met in my cousin's church in New Hampshire. Our first date was on September 24th, 2009. He proposed to me in San Antonio, Texas, on May 1st, 2010. Two weeks after we found out we were having our first baby we had already picked a name for a girl and a name for a boy. In the hospital we almost changed our minds to naming her Harper Mykelti, but Harper is so gender neutral we wanted her middle name to be more femenine so we stayed with Harper Rose.

A few days ago I finally made the peach salsa I had been wanting to make for the past several weeks. I couldn't find a recipe I liked so I kind of combined a few to make my own:


                                         Peach Salsa
4 not too hairy peaches, chopped
2 small jalepenos, diced
1/4 cup diced onion
somewhere around 1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tsp crushed mint
1 tsp ground ginger.

Mix everything together and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours before eating to let the flavors blend.
