Crazy Man

At least he has perfected his splashing method in all of his swimming lessons...

Making Nice

What you don't see is two seconds after this picture he (1) grabbed Madeline's tongue and (2) geared up for a major splashing fest that sent both the dogs running.

Poor Dogs

Jack had fun in his kiddie pool, splashing and torturing all 3 animals.

BLOOMING!

It has been five years but we finally have a flower on this plant!

South side of yard

Easy part is done! Planted: Tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, onions, brussel sprouts, snap peas, cucumbers, and a climbing vine in the middle.

Reading

He spent so much time with this book I think he can teach us a thing or two about preserving!

On The Table

Madeline showed Jack a new spot to hang out.

Haircut!

Yard Progress

Progress made May 17! Raised beds are in, tomatoes, peppers, brussel sprouts are planted, lettuce & onion will go in tomorrow. We need some more rock and need to do some more weeding on the north side.

Yard

As some of you have heard our backyard is about to get a much needed makeover!

The above pictures are befores. The side yard will have raised bed gardens tonight, more details to come as work progresses on the rest.

More Time With Uncle Matt

New "tricks"  - thanks Uncle Matt!

CRAZY hair

Crazy hair a la Uncle Matt! We were at Grandma & Grandpa's Sunday and Jack got sunscreen all over his head. Uncle Matt used the extra "styling product" to, um, create a "new style"!

Double Stroller

Going for a walk with Cousin Grigg & Grandma.

Dogs

Loudmouth puppies pouting with their punishment.

More PB for J

Jack LOVES his peanut butter sandwiches.

Caged!

Back in the kennel, seems to be a fun place to hang out :)

Jack & Grandpa

FANTASTIC!

Dinner

YUM! Pasta with swiss chard & turkey.

Huh?

Visiting at Avatar. The look on his face just says "what?"

Daredevil

Look! It's ME on the computer!

Not quite what I had in mind when I said "sit".

Artist

Jack had shown no interest in pens/pencils/crayons/markers (except as edibles) until Tuesday. And he has become obsessed. We had to take pens away (safety hazard) but replaced them with crayons. Thankfully washable.

Messy Marvin

Jack is enjoying feeding himself. We are equally enjoying the clean up!

Bruise

Here is the best picture I could get of the bruise that arose after the fall last week. The picture does not even capture half of how awful it looked.
