A post about nothing really

Caleb recently discovered Thomas the train. He has had trains and a train table for at least a year, but only in the last month has he become obsessed with playing with them. Consequently we get to build tracks. Big tracks, little tracks, round tracks, oval tracks - any shape of track really. And then he destroys them so that we can build another. At story time, the Thomas books are currently the most requested. My favorite - Moo, baa, la la la is turned down every time. (Sigh) Cousin Tyler was over earlier this week, so Bapa, Tyler and Caleb played trains.



Lucy is going to have a find education on Thomas the train... Here she is with her eyes open. Up until the last couple days this was a rare occurrence.



















And here she is just being cute. I wanted to get a picture of her in the outfit before this, but alas the camera battery was dead - something that we never let happen when Caleb was a baby!

Demolition Man

I began our first major home improvement project and it wasn't even on our home. There are two sheds in our back yard: one is a chicken coop with a shelter off one end. It is solidly built on a concrete pad and seems to stay very dry year round. The other shed is a different story. While reasonably built, it is constantly damp inside. It is also dark and dirty. The outside shows clear signs of rot around the base. We decided even before purchasing our house that this shed would have to go.

Well, the day finally came for demolition to begin. With some help from Andrea's dad, I managed to tear it completely down in a couple of days. Now I just have to level the ground around the site and call Tuff Shed to come build our new shed. It will be bigger, sturdier and have more light.


I got plenty of help from Caleb
