No one's forcing you to watch this.

But we know you want to. Everyone wants to watch babies jabber for hours on end. Getting her to jabber for the camera instead of fuss is a bit of a trick however. It's genetic- her dad doesn't like cameras pointed at him either. So, enjoy take number 35, edited. (The fuzzy picture is probably your readers or dirty screen or some such error on your end. Get it looked at and I'll try to figure out what I'm supposed to be focusing on next time.)




Getting ready for work- single handedly. 
 Little critters peeking over the edge.
 And pooping on our porch. This little family moved out of their summer home this week. Next year they're going to be encouraged to use a nesting box that will be built away from the house...

Shauna's been busy attacking our weeds. The whole side of the yard where we filled in the old ditch was supposed to be landscaped and manicured this year. Not sure what the wife's been doing. 
This section is going to be an extension of our parking area. Our neighbor-down-the-way-a-bit has a Bobcat. And he's retired. And bored. Thank goodness for neighbors with toys and time to spare! He's going to finish our little project for us: level off the dirt and fill in the gravel.
Those weeds made a right good bonfire the other night. Got helped along by some juniper branches we pruned earlier this summer.

 Our sad little spot of new lawn. There is some nice new grass under those weeds- last I checked. As I mentioned before, we had great visions of getting the whole side yard seeded and established this summer. Now we have great visions of having a slightly less hectic spring next year and maybe being able to keep ahead of the yard. 
Delusional? Nah.

  1. Hey, I totally hear you about the lawn. Ours is coming in (finally) after I'd put up with the whole construction process for two years. And you know what? I mow the lawn twice a week now and smile from ear to ear the whole time I'm doing it. Serious! I'll mow yours too. :) Heehee. Glad to see updates from you three once in a while.
