Burn permit

last night was the first real day of yard clean up. Suzy and Mac showed up and all 13 of our kids "helped" out with yard work. Actually they did quite a lot! We burned a huge pile of weeds and thoroughly smoked the kids. We even did Boy Scout dinners on the hot coals. Ivie and Ethan Mowed the lawn for the first time this year... Ivie in her bare feet...

Amelia and Faith on the swing

Chef Todd, I eventually gave up on using that shovel to get the food out of the coals and used my hands (yes I had gloves on)

Dinner was really quite good, Lara made one dinner with stuffing and cram of chicken soup and chicken with potatoes and carrots and peas.. the bottom was a littel burned but other wise perfect!

this is the first time that night that Ethan didn't have a stick on fire in his hand

Hannah is doing so well with walking, its been 2 weeks since her accident... she is truly a miracle!
