A Few Snaps From The Backyard

While the landscaping of the backyard needed absolutely nothing to be perfect from the day we moved in, we did add some comfy furniture, outdoor lights, and a small fire pit under one of the pergolas, so my new #1 Mom Job in the house is to make sure there are always s'mores ingredients in the pantry.

See Mary's toasty marshmallow? They're becoming marshmallow professionals.

Thanks to Catherine, we now have occasional picture proof that I live here!

This is Mary's standard reaction to all of her sibling's shenanigans.

I think Catherine took this picture because she was laughing at the boys who were sneaking behind the bushes and popping up, dancing and making funny faces, while Daddy sat there unaware.

Double snuggles happen a lot.

Agnes is working on lots of teeth!

And she wants to eat and drink ALL the things.
