Finally Finished!

Last Monday (Labor Day) Mike went and picked peaches for me at the church orchard. They had opened it up to the public, so we jumped at the chance for free peaches. I don't think either of us knew how many peaches he really picked. But we have had the best time canning peaches all week. It was hard for me to find a 2 hour block in the day to get a batch done. So Mike and I spent our nights canning. We where "Peach Pals" as he called us. It was a GREAT one on one time together! I LOVED it! We where able to can 53 quarts, 22 pints, 3 batches of jam, and 2 batches of fruit leather. My sister in law Nicole was able to come over Saturday and we did a few batches together too. We are FINALLY finished! What a great feeling!

Nice job on that one. That is a lot of work. My mom tried to get peaches, but they were all picked by the time she got there!

And...congrats on the new little one. She is a cutie with so much hair! She is also a good little poser for a 2 week old shot. Congrats again, lady!
