The park

We went to the park tonight, Hayden's first time going down the slide and interacting with other kids. He had a ton of fun chasing Michaela around and heading down the slides, landing on his bum, climbing the walls, etc. Here are some of the pictures.

Yardwork

OK, I know it's been a while since I posted anything new. We are in the process of putting in both the front and the back yard at my parents home. Although the builder was required to put the front yard in, nothing has been done, and the HOA requires it to be done, so, we are doing it ourselves.

So far we have cleared about 70 wheelbarrows full of rocks and cement, moved a bunch of rocks to finish off a rock wall in the front and back, planted trees and shrubs, dug trenches for the sprinklers, and managed to keep Hayden from breaking his leg or cracking his head open while he tries to run and explore all the new terrain. I personally unloaded a trailer full of compost for the top level in the front yard and can look forward to a double load of compost tomorrow.

Needless to say, I have been pretty tired when night falls.

I go back to school for meetings and such next week and I have a ton of stuff to get ready. So I may not post for a bit.

Here are just a few pictures-
