The Day Before

Photos from our grand photoshoot featuring Rachel before she left are coming next. But first I need to take you back a day, back to the day we got off our lazy buts and turned productive.

We finally did make jars and jars of homemade salsa. Indeed, we did. We chopped, sliced, and smushed over 24 red, juicy tomatoes.

This is what we--and the kitchen--looked like after the grand undertaking.

For full effect (tomato juice goes everywhere).

While I cried from chopping chilies; while Mum cried from chopping onions; and while Hannah cried from squeezing lemons (lemon juice goes everywhere, too), Rachel sat gracefully composed at the table scrapbooking.

Witness Rachel attempting innocence at our pain. (She did, however, a lovely job of scrapbooking Matthew's baby photos).

And in case all this production wasn't enough, we also celebrated Dad's birthday. Yay for us!

Dad turned the ever-wise, glorious age of 47.
