Because I haven't blogged for quite some time, I decided to update you on the things that we have been doing lately. Bryon has been taking finals and completes his last one on the last day of school, which is Tuesday. Tyler's last day is Wednesday and he is still busy completing projects and taking finals. Jeremy and Michael have been bringing home art and school work for the last couple of weeks now and are wrapping up for their final day, on Tuesday, as well. Alyssa has cut two more teeth and Justin is becoming more and more vocal about what he wants and how we can help him. The two of them helped me purchase a used couch we found on Craig's list last week and have been behaving well while I have been canning berries to make jam. One of my favorite times of year! Strawberry jam, strawberry/blueberry syrup, and blueberry pies. We have been enjoying the fruits in their season as well as a wonderful visit from Aunt Ginny (my sister) and her two youngest sons, Ryan and Nathan. What a delight! I have also started another paper route and am getting adjusted to the new routine. We also enjoyed memorial weekend in Utah with family and friends as we witnessed our niece (Steve's sister Ruth's daughter, Camille) get married. It has been an amazingly busy but fun filled month! Thank you for letting us share with you all!!! (Recipes can be found on our "Alger family recipes" blog-link to the right)

Loved the update. I'll have to head over to your other blog for the blueberry/strawberry syrup. Sounds divine!
When are you coming to CA next? Are you stopping by?
It is so fun to see how your family is growing. I love to "stop in" and feel a part of your lives in a very small way. I need your recipe for syrup- I have a ton of fresh fruit juice in the freezer and I want to convert some to a less healthy- but very satisfying treat.
