“Why can’t I wear this to church?”

“Gabe the Builder”

“Look, Mama! It’s like fireworks!”

“Army Man” …and you better not forget any of the accessories. A man must be prepared to defend his people.

“Police Man” Again, from head to toe…nothing can be out of place. You have no idea how many things are tucked in his pants.

And the last one…I just want to squeeze him! Love you, Gabe!

Enjoy the photos!

8 strawberry plants
Cilantro
Basil
Jalapeno
5 tomato plants (two are grape tomatoes)
Green beans
Sweet peas
Snap peas
Spinach (which we already enjoyed and then went to seed!)
Salad bowl lettuce
9 zucchini plants (somebody save me, we’re drowning in zucchini!)
18 cucumber plants - same situation here, come get some!
2 pumpkin plants
3 watermelon plants - which are producing like crazy! We’ll have tons once they’re ready!
and 50 feet by 8 feet of corn that is growing taller every day

It’s tons of work but really fun to bring in all the fresh veggies and fruits! Here are some pictures from about a month ago. The plants have totally taken off since these photos, but you get the idea! We’re getting about 12 zucchini a day and 14 cucumbers a day right now. There’s no way we’re eating all of it so come take some…please!!

Now that my laptop is back from another repair, I thought I’d update everyone with the latest Eagy family news.

Gideon is now 4 1/2 months old and has a delightful smile and laugh. He loves his brother and sisters…especially Hannah who asks to take care of him many times every day! At his last doctor appointment his stats were 50% across the board - height, weight and head size. People usually comment on how big he looks but he’s really just average! Yesterday he found his toes so he likes to lay on his back holding his toes rolling from side to side. He loves being held and is pretty interested in people food - so that may be around the corner soon!

Abigail talks nonstop! She always impresses us with her long sentences and big words. She keeps up with the big kids on the trampoline, loves her baby dolls and is finally loving Sunday school! We had our first babysitter (other than my mom…who has watched our kids graciously for years!) last night and she did great. She loves to be funny and has a great big belly laugh! She’s our shoe girl - switching her shoes multiple times each day. Her big blue eyes melt her Papa’s heart.

Gabe is really into dressing up - usually one of the first things he wants to do each day! Ironman, army man, policeman and fireman to name a few. He’s trying to figure out riding his two wheeler bike without training wheels, loves being outside exploring our field, asks to swim every day and is growing into a little man who loves Jesus! He has such a soft heart that wants to please. He’ll play with anyone who is willing…playing alone is not something he enjoys! He’s super excited for Family Camp with our church this year and to ride the zip line and eat s’mores. He loves to be read to.

Hannah is learning to read and loves her “reading lessons” with Mama every day. She’s so proud of herself! She’s also trying to ride her bike without training wheels. Hannah dresses up her babies in many different outfits each day. It’s amazing how helpful she is with Gideon, too! She can change his diaper (with a tiny adjustment at the end!), get him dressed, carry him around and play with him! Hannah had her first salon haircut a few weeks ago and loves her new ‘do. She’s very responsible, sweet, motivated to learn quickly and loving to her siblings and friends.
