Pretty capable 3 year old

Frankie fed David his breakfast in its entirety. She did a good job!

"Don't care who does it, long as it's done..."

David comforts Dave

Nothing like a little bundle of baby to brighten your spirits.

"Ah gah!"

Poor Dave

So Dave had a busy night last night.

Managed to get out of putting the girls down to sleep by breaking his arm. Guess I'll do it for the next, oh, few months. On a serious note, though, he's in a lot of pain but doesn't complain. My idol.

Teresa's like me. When faced with a crisis, she cleans. Makes her feel like she has control.

He broke it playing basketball, by the way. It's a little eerie that both he and I have broken limbs playing basketball and ended up at Arlington Hospital.

Two peas in a pod

Sorry, too cute not to post.

All gone

The tree was down in about 3 hours. Grinding the stump took even longer.

Now we can be confident that a pine limb won't fall on our heads when we're out front on a windy day. Next project: mulching.

Entertainment for the day

It's amazing what these men do. This guy is scaling an enormous pine tree in our front yard with a chain saw dangling from his waist. Talk about guts; the risk of death in a job like this is insanely high. Eeek.

On a selfish note, watching the drama unfold is a great way to spend a sick day.

Seedlings

They've grown!
