trees...

Bill has decided to cut down trees in our backyard to make room for a shed (and just to make a bigger backyard). Technically, it's a conservation of some sort, but we are allowed to cut down trees within reason. Bill (with the gratious help of Jordan) took about a day or two and went through the backyard like a madman, chopping down every tree he didn't like the looks of. It was a pretty sad sight afterwards, it looked like the aftermath of a hurricane (but it has let more light in the back of our house). Now he just has the tedious job of cutting up the trees into firewood...we don't have a fireplace, but if you would like some wood, just ask!

Emma and Reid were fascinated with the tree chopping, and stood by the window forever, saying Daddy to each other. (Emma still thinks Bill is outside if he's not home from work yet. She'll run to the back door and ask, "Daddy?")
