Odds and Ends

Yesterday we planted some things and spread some mulch out back between the newly finished retaining walls. One more step toward the end of that project...... Today Paxton and I went for a walk with Grampa (Kent). We came across a couple of baby birds in our field. Paxton chased one down and picked it up. The poor thing was too little to fly so he didn't stand much chance against Paxton. He held it for a few minutes and then put it down and off it ran. It's mother was a little perturbed!! Mom and Dad watched the kids this evening so Johanna and I could go out to eat for our Anniversary. Tomorrow it will be 8 years!!!

One step closer

Yes, Shelley, we washed his hands WITH SOAP afterwards!! :)
