Backyard Picnic

It isn't all the way done yet, but we sure are enjoying our new backyard. It has a slight slope, which means that Abe and Seb spend lots of time rolling down the hill.

The boys have been begging to have a picnic on our "nice new grass," so the other day we had our dinner out there (yummy vegetable turnovers).

Malachi loved eating outside and having nibbles of our turnovers. (He loves eating what we are eating.) He smiled and giggled the whole time.

Big brother, little brother

Abey and Malachi really like each other. Abe can always make Ky laugh, and just about every day Abe says, "Malachi is SO cute, I just can't stand it!" Sometimes they get quite silly together. I love to watch them.

Toothy and De-toothy

Abe lost his first tooth today. I didn't know that would start happening already! Ky, for his part, now has four teeth. And Sebby asks me every 5 minutes, "Now is MY tooth going to fall out?"

Spatu-whapper, gaggle, very neat line

I haven't posted here for awhile, so here's Malachi crawling over to get someone. And some geese. And Sebby with . . . some . . . thing that he made.

Loyalty, slidewinders, all snuggled in

(Yes, Seb plays with Honey while Abey's gone. Don't tell Abey.)

We are all amerikougars now

Abey's first day of kindergarten

Off he goes! He was the cutest boy in the whole class. :)

Sebby: "I hope the control doesn't come out and get Daddy when he goes across!"

I love my Mummy

Stick hunters

Roasting

Mmm . . . tomatoes and basil

CHOMP

Me: "Let me do that Sam, you haven't even had a chance to sit down yet!"

Sam: "But that's what I love most about campouts; going around and doing things!"

Sparks and coals
