Our Backyard Has Gone Wild

We have a few birds roaming the yard these days.  They work from dawn to dusk foraging for weeds and insects and turning our leaves into mulch.  We give them a whole backyard to enjoy, and in return, they give us fresh eggs!

One Tired Baby

I caught this funny sequence of sleepy Niall...I think he would have fallen right over to sleep if I hadn't snatched him up and put him to bed.







Enough already, will someone please put me to bed?

Finally a Nice Weekend....

For wrestling in the sand




Riding bikes




Climbing large boulders




Or just being cute

Sand Mountain

Nick climbing Sand Mountain with a storm looming in the background. 




And for the best part, the descent!

Harvest Time

This is our first year with a fruit tree in our yard...











The assembly line...Nolan to Nick, and then to Cora and into the bowl.


Delicious!


Our neighbors have a very fruitful Kumquat tree. They let us gather as many as we could before the freeze hits. Crazy, but this is only about 1/4 of the fruit on the tree. The kicker is, you'll be sorry if you eat more than three or four of these, so I better get working on jelly fast!

Enjoying a wintery day at the beach.
