My front tooth

These are the last photos we have of Kaya before a freak accident where she tripped and knocked back her front tooth. Our brave girl went for a trip to the dentist but there is little we can do other than wait for it to bend back into place and hope it does not fall out.

Adlai is beginning to be a good little helper. The vacuum is especially appealing due to the noise it makes while accomplishing its task.

Science center

Adlai and Kaya liked riding the giant ant but the water table was Adlai's favorite activity of the day.

Kaya was fascinated by the conveyor belt and the building blocks and told Daddy all about the real bee hive.

Phase 1

We are impressed at the retaining wall.

Everyone pitched in to regrade and spread new soil.

Digging

We marked off the new flower beds in spray paint.

Here is a "before" shot of the front bed.

Each rock weighs over 3,000 pounds but it was easy work for an experienced bobcat driver.

The main rocks in the retaining wall are in place and the sod is scraped off the surface of our yards.

Calm before the storm

Adlai sleeps with his hands behind his head in classic relaxation pose.

Here begins our foray into landscaping our front yard.

The kids are quite impressed at the bobcat tearing up the lawn and digging a trench.

Daddy the alien

Kaya announced that she was making Daddy into an alien.

She carefully placed rainbow coloured foamies all accross his face like a visor.

Then Dadddy returned the favour.

Street hockey

Adlai wanted to participate in the neighbourhood street hockey game so badly. He did his best to chase the ball with the other boys.

He finally graduated to holding his own hockey stick.
