Special Treat for Devin and Liz

Devin and I decided to hire a landscaping crew this year and do our landscaping around the house.  This was a nice change for the "do it yourself" family we are and what would  have taken us a week to complete they crew finished within 4.5 hours with 5 guys. Hopefully we won't need to have it done to this extreme ever year as long as we maintain it.  The landscapers also buried all the downspout extensions; therefore, no more moving them around while mowing or water freezing over the sidewalks.  Ironically, I was looking forward to waking up and not being sore or tired from all the hard work; unfortunately, I still woke up feeling that way.  I believe it could be me witnessing the work that was done or just the fact that I am getting old.  Hmmm?

Sully the Bruiser

Sully and Romie had a head on collision yesterday and Sully came up the loser.  It was a total accident and he really wasn't too upset about it until we try to put his little boo boo ice pack on it.  Once he was babied a bit by Mommy and Daddy he was right back to chasing and playing with his sisters.  Today it isn't as swollen as when it first happened which is good because Devin was afraid it was going to swell shut. It is just black and blue.  It is a bruiser that any little boy would be proud of and I am sure it won't be the last either.  The first picture posted is shortly after it happened and the second is what it looked like when he got up this morning.
