We took a drive out to Papa and PapaMom's house to see the new goats. Over the past year Papa has lost a few goats so it was time to give Sydney a friend or two. Papa had to keep them in the garage until he could fix the fence in the yard, the goats are so little they would fit through the fence.
There is a cartoon on the Disney Channel called Handy Manny. He is a handy man with talking tools. Aiden now insists on pulling out his tool belt and hard hat everytime the show comes on. He is such a goof....
Papa, Jessica, Tony and the boys spent an afternoon hanging out at our house. Papa finally got to meet Owen. Owen slept most of the day, Papa even snuck in a nap himself. David asked to hold Owen. I had to laugh that he didn't seem to be enjoying it but I think he was concentrating very hard on holding Owen.
We have had a busy few days. Yesterday PapaMom came out and spent the day with us. She took us to the doctor to have Owen checked out then came back to cook us dinner and do a little housework I'm not allowed to do yet. Papa we can't wait until you come out to visit...
Then today Aunt Carolyn and Meghan came out to visit. While Aiden took his nap, Meghan took me out to lunch and Aunt Carolyn got her cuddle time with Owen. Thank you Meghan for lunch and thank you Aunt Carolyn for folding that basket of laundry....I just noticed!
Aiden had a great time playing with everyone. We even snuck a few pictures of him "loving" on his baby brother.
We have been trying to get as many things around the house done before our hands are full with a new little someone. Yesterday Gary and Aiden did a little work in the yard. There is a big hill on the front side of the house on the lake side. Gary has been digging some pretty big rocks out of the hill for awhile but decided to bring them all up yesterday.
Until now I have just been placing a few here and there in my perennial beds, but Gary's dad was here a weekend or two ago and started lining the edge of my flower beds with the rock. Looks like he's going to have to come back and work on the huge pile Gary dumped in the yard.
Aiden wanted to help daddy and went and got his wheel barrel from the garage.
Dang, don't you hate when the wheel barrel tips over? Daddy came and straightened him out and he was good to go again...
Aiden's load of rocks...
We also started another project yesterday. We want to put some wood ties around the swingset and put wood chips in so cutting the grass is a bit easier. The plan is also to add a big sand box to the one end. Once we started we noticed we didn't have enough wood ties. Maybe we can convince Papa and PapaMom to come out one weekend and give us a hand with this one...hint hint!
