Fake sleeping

Simon has started adorably 'fake sleeping'. He lies down and assumes sleep position then jumps up and laughs. He's developing a sense of humor!  It is also now our most accurate method of determining if he's tired. That joke is way funnier if you're tired. See?

These pictures were taken on Tuesday the 10th.

Sunday of Sweeney's visit

Merge the two top pictures in your mind to make a great picture of Colleen, Simon and I.

Happy Birthday to Simon

Simon had an amazing birthday. Grandpa Bart and Grandma Kiki were in town to celebrate the big day and to help me and Alan get everything ready. We had almost 15 folks over to celebrate. Details and SO MANY PICTURES follow...

Lawn work

Simon and Alan did lawn work this weekend. It had gotten a bit crazy since we were out of town last week. Alan got a new thing for the mower that picks up the clippings and is putting that on in the first picture. Simon is picking up the toys that somehow keep getting spread across the lawn.

Look at the neighbor's garage color - copy cats!

What a difference the mowing makes!
