Stephanie Turns 13

Stephanie wanted to celebrate her birthday with her friends earlier this month, so there wasn't much left to do but go out to eat.

Mowing

Without a son to carry on the mowing tradition, it's time for Rachel to learn to help Dad in the yard.
She's very excited to learn to mow and edge. I think this is a good fit for her.

Rachel's orthodonist visit

Rachel's xray show several "baby" teeth with adult teeth right behind them. We have to go back in six months to see how the adult canines are doing. The orthodontist said at that time we may need to have one of the baby canines pulled to make a path for the adult one.

Squirrel!

Outside of our living room window is a bird feeder.
But the squirrels are very agile and resourceful.
They do reconnaissance ....
then seize the prize!
