Working around the house

Well the summer is nearly over and you should see the difference in our yard! Blood, sweat, tears (and rashes) have gone into it and we are getting more and more proud of Wil and Elsie's new playground. They have been great little helpers and very patient with us as we work to get it ready to romp in! We have pulled thorny vines all summer, planted trees, flowers and shrubs and took out a few smaller trees and limbs ourselves. We left about 7 big trees and limbs to the experts and they took about a week to finish. Wil loved playing in the dirt and climbing the tractors. He also has been enjoying all the popsicles and watermelon! Elsie is fine as long as her swing can come outside with her and Wil gives her a push every once in a while!

Betsy, we sure enjoyed your photos. Your yard looks like it has really changed. And the babies are beautiful... Elsie's hair looks a little red to me -- is it? Love, Mom
