... to buy a fat pig! I was singing that song to baby John, but really we went to buy vegetables for a roast chicken dish. We met Ash and Stelly {and Ruby in utero!} at our neighborhood farmer's market on a rainy day this week before making dinner.

Three months is a really fun age. His eyes sparkle and he's gummy smiling and laughing all the time now. He's such a joyful little guy!
