• John and I got out in our back yard yesterday and cleared half of the leaves away. I’ve been working on them for about an hour a day two or three times a week for the past couple of weeks, so all we had to do was gather them up. I like to get outside with AK a few times a week to give her some fresh air, so I’ll work on the rest of the leaves later. We have been enjoying our yard work. I rake the leaves into piles, and she spins around and lands in them. “Look, Mommy! I’m spinning! I’m making a mess!” This may very well be the first time we’ve put this much work into our yard since I got pregnant last January. It’s nice to be back at it.

  Here’s what happens after I wear my daughter out with activity. . .

  

  . . . and when she’s unimpressed with her grilled cheese.

  And here’s what the boys do while AK and I wear ourselves out. . .

  

  . . .oh, to be four months old again, my every need met by a thumb and a nap.

  We went to a visitation recently, and I found myself watching the children and cousins while John and his parents caught up with old friends and spoke with the family. I stuck the boys in here for a couple minutes, until they vigourously asked to be picked up again:

  

  They are not excited about being caged up. I guess I’m not so much either. Their cousin Austin got them to smile, though.

  My friend Sarah K. in Minnesota sent me these baseball outfits.

  

  The boys were delighted; they hadn’t realized they were twins. Hehee.

  Whatever, Mom. Talk to the foot.

  Love, William.
