It was four all-too-short years ago that my husband and I brought home the 9 pound 3 and a half ounce wonder named Ronan, looked at him lovingly and said, “ummm… so now what do we do?” 

We thought it would be a great idea to plant a vegetable garden this summer. My husband and I wanted to share with our son, the experience of growing life with the simple ingredients of air, sunlight and water.

I remember the first time my husband met a baby. Our friends invited us to their home to visit with their 6 week-old daughter. As we arrived at the door, she was thrust into my arms – it was lovely holding that wee little person.
