Hard at Work





We have been very busy working in the yard. What you see of the fence is what is done. I have spent the last couple of weeks picking up the black rock in the front of the house and all down the one side that doesn't show because of the fence. Next step --- FLOWERS!!!!!
You will all be very proud of your father. First all all he has worked solidy for the last four months. Second, he has lost about twenty pounds, and last of all Dad is throwing away his old work clothes. Shortly after we moved in he was working in the garage with some of his worst work clothes and a neighbor family stopped over to visit. Their little three year old girl looked at his old, holey, too little pants and commented, "Are those your work clothes". He hasn't worn anything like that since. I am sure you are all proud! I almost posted a video of dad driving a lawn tractor spreading out the three loads of topsoil but I couldn't figure it out. Maybe another time.

Too Big!!!


Reagan is big enough to feed himself now. He can reach on top of the counters to grab food. I made cookies the other day and I'm not sure how but Reagan managed to move the cooling rack enough that he was able to grab his own cookies. When I'm not watching he also turns the lazy suzy around and takes out the tupperware container full of flour and eats the flour.

Driving


When I take Reagan's seat belt off he runs. Not out of the car but away from me. I usually just ignore him until he decides to get out on his own. Abe says that isn't safe. So I decided to listen to Abe and tried to take Reagan out immediately. He screamed at me for about 30 minutes. I guess Reagan doesn't understand that you have to be 16 years old to drive not 16 months.
