Lily places

Now that Lillian is mobile, she is very talented at finding new places, or spots where she isn't really supposed to be.  She gets under tables and chairs, this can sometimes be a bad thing if she bumps her head.

This is Lily in a place that she isn't supposed to be, there is a "rock garden" in our foyer, and she likes to crawl over there and put the rocks in her mouth.

She is very cute even though she is being bad!

We just bought Lily a tent and tunnel that she loves, this helps to keep her away from the rocks, but I am still going to have them replaced with some kid friendly carpet, maybe one day she can have a little fort up there.  

Wine!

The other day we started our wine making career!  Greg was very excited to do this, as you can see by his smile below.  The wine consists of grape juice, sugar water, yeast, a bit of tea and lemon.  Hopefully it will turn out okay.  We pour the juice in a large water bottle, and add the other ingredients.  Then we put a stopper on it, with an airlock, and put it in our storage closet for a month, and viola, wine!  Or so we hope.  Greg covered the bottles with black t-shirts (so they are in a dark place).

All of the empty bottles waiting to be cleaned

We are making a red wine and a white wine.  The white wine didn't get as full as the red wine, which is good because the red wine blew up the first night.  I guess the pressure built up too much for the little room that was left in the bottle, so it blew.  Greg made a few changes (I really don't know what he did) and he cleaned it up, and we are good to go again - hopefully.  One of the bad parts is that our storage room smells, a weird smell, not really a wine smell, but almost.  It is odd.  We are gong to let this batch of wine sit until after Greg gets back from Kellies wedding, so it will sit for over a month which is supposed to make it taste better.  I guess that the wine doesn't usually make it to a month before it is bottled, I guess most people get anxious for it.  

So wish us luck on our new wine ventures!
