freedom fence

A couple months ago, my brother and fiance, dad, uncle, and husband built a fence around the yard.  Jason actually used a nail gun and a post hole digger, it was impressive.  Besides demolishing the sprinkler system hoses and wiring, and a little dog guard fencing issue, the fence is a total success.   We love our new freedom.  Freedom for Will, who gets to play outside much more than before - and freedom for me, who can now watch the baby or work in the yard without losing Will in that split second needed to look for the pacifier that just fell in the grass.  I'll get to be a little productive (or relax) and Will can get tuckered out for nap time.  I can't wait for more nice weather for meals on the deck where Jason and I can sit and relax while Will runs down the hill or 'bubble mows' the lawn - no more chasing him to the neighbors yard where he likes to pick all the yellow 'flowers' or to the front yard where the street is so tempting. 

Sounds great, huh?!

So, why aren't we outside right now?  Well, Mother Nature gave us clouds, wind and rain.  Who knows, I might just make us all get out there anyway...just because I can

Over the last few weeks, Will started barking whenever Porter would bark. Today, the doorbell rang in Toy Story 2 on tv and Will started barking. Awesome.

Some photos of the boys having fun.  Clearly, you can tell the pre-haircut from the post-haircut pictures.  Haircuts are not a fun time at the Gross household.  Major chaos during haircuts.  But, we do have some fun in the Gross household.  It's not all chaos and messiness and stress - sometimes we have fun and relax - it's those moments when we feel like great parents.  I'll try to post more of that stuff soon!  It's just not as funny when things are going well!  Until next time...here's the latest fun stuff...
