Admittedly, their yard is in much better shape than ours, as a result of not having as many trees. Looks like I have some yard work ahead of me...

Hrmm... Looks like pretty soon you're going to have to give up baby blogging in favor of toddler tweeting. And then before you know it, it'll be teen texting, university youtube, and then wedding wiki.
