Lots has happened over the last two weeks! Last weekend was Yale Graduation. Matt attended the formal ceremony, got all dressed up, received his degree, and celebrated with friends and family. It was a lovely weekend, full of putlucks in the yard, Turkish food, and quality time with family and friends.
Then, this weekend, we went to Amherst for our ten year college reunion. Another beautiful weekend, and the chance to catch up with college friends, many of whom we don't see very often. All that, followed by some yard work, playing in the mud, and finally strawberry picking - yum!

Three generations of Jensens. See any family resemblence? (Unfortunately, the fourth generation was napping at the time)

Iris has her first taste of an Atkins Farm Cider Donut (courtesy of our college reunion). She ate an entire donut, so I guess she liked it . . .

In front of Porter House, where Gwyneth lived for three of her four years at Amherst. Unfortunately, they've completely gutted and remodelled it, so her old rooms are gone forever.

Cavorting around the yard in a bathing suit. It's been hot lately, and Iris loves playing in water and dirt (even better with both), so we got out the kiddie pool and she had a great time throwing things in and out of it, making a huge mess.

Strawberry picking! Iris ate at least a dozen strawberries in the field. She had strawberry juices dribbling down her chin the whole time. At one point, she was sitting next to the basket. I thought she was eating the strawberries, but it turned out she was putting the ones we had already picked back (where they belonged) on the bushes!
