Playing in the Yard

Thank heaven this year hasn't been as smokey and it has been cooler! We spend at least a couple hours outside every day!
This is Timothy talking to his cousin Enoch.





Gigi loves roasted Marshmellows! Timothy still won't touch them.







 Oh, and another good idea: Indoor baby mazes!

2022

2022 has been a year: and its only August! We started out the year nice and strong with a good case of Appendicitis for Michael: He spent his 40th Birthday in the hospital. We finished our basement, and moved Evelyn's room. We miraculously upgraded our car to a brand new Palisade. We got Covid for 6 weeks, and every other sickness, it seems. Plus we have a cute baby who is always teething, but never cuts her teeth. Then our sprinklers flooded our yard and we ended up with a $3,000 repair job. In spite of a bunch of physical trials, life has been so sweet for us: Our kids get along (most of the time), our marriage is stronger than ever, and our yard (at least the backyard) is flourishing.

Michael at the Hospital.....again: three trips in three months: are we done yet?

Timothy is so buff! 

For his 3rd Birthday, Timothy got a rocking horse!

 


Playing on our old mattresses before dumping them.











Digging this hole was kind of fun, until it filled with water in spite of our water being shut off. That's how much ground water there was!

Take your weapon, strike me down, and your journey to the dark side will be complete!









This is one of my favorite pictures of Timothy:



This is Timothy singing to our seeds: probably why our garden looks so awesome!

My mom's cat isn't the smartest. 
See?!


This was during one of our nasty fevers. Cute pic, though: It was worth it!

Our beautiful basement!

Evelyn all dressed up for pioneer trek!

Yes, this is from my garden!


This is Timothy sick with Covid. I have never seen a sadder boy!
