So I looked through the pictures that we took at the ranch, and they weren't terrifically blog-worthy. But I thought these were cute of Russell. What little boy doesn't love playing outside?
A boy, his blanket, and his binky. I really should do something about that binky but.....
And this is our newly planted garden. He is pretty good to just dig around the edges.
I love that my kids are now old enough to play outside by themselves for awhile. They play relatively well out there (with the occasional fight over the car), and I can happily see them through the kitchen and office windows or bask in some sun myself and sit on our patio while they play. Having a backyard is the best thing about owning a house. I told Chad that if we ever, for whatever reason, had to move back into an apartment, I would cry. And this outdoor fun is the thing we would miss most!
