Hook'em

Egan is ready for summer...in his longhorn digs!



And he is showing off his latest skill - jumping off the ground with both feet. He plays bunny, jumping all over the house.

Sandbox

One of our late winter/early spring projects was to make the yard a little more kid friendly. We've got lots of space, but not much play stuff. And with no fence, it is easy for Egan to 'get away.' So we decided to build a sandbox for the kids and put up a partial temporary fence. Partial in that it wraps around the side of the house were you can't see from the kitchen window and prevents Egan (theoretically) from running into the front.

First the sandbox went in...Before that could happen - I had to move a whole suite of bulbs that were planted by the original owners. You can't really tell in this picture, but it was bitterly cold that day! So much for spring.


Jake made the sandbox out of a whole sheet of plywood for a lid with 1x12 sides.



The inaugural dump of sand.



Almost full and very popular!

LolliPop

Act now - because our friend Kurt Friehauf has posted for 1 week the video of Elena's talent show.

The song was cut off at the end when they were supposed to all sing around 'their lollipop.'
