It's been a long time. A long time.

But, we were outside today, all day, doing yardwork, which I hated when I was a kid/young adult, and now that I have a house, I still hate, but hate while doing. Anyway, to alleviate the drudgery, I took some pictures. I've always thought that my kids are much better looking outside, when the natural sunlight can interact with their eyes and such.

Jack is a character.

This is some version of Calvinball.

Aerin knows kung fu.

Gwen's eyes take up half of her face, I swear.

She looks like an elf.

I'm so glad our neighbor across the street on Darah gave us her old swing set. It never got used when we were at Bullpen, but now that we're here, those kids love to swing.

And, my parents gave us their old swing, thing, and Gwen seems to have a tongue fixation.

Jack LOVES Dancing With The Stars. And he loves dancing with the stars.
