This week was very busy with seeing lots of friends and working on the yard. Kyler enjoyed all the excitement and getting to visit Grandma and Grandpa's pool. We started out the week with a trip to
Menards and
Sonic (still too early for Ky to have tots yet...bummer, kid!) and arrived home to see our friend Melissa from Ann Arbor. On Sunday, we went to
Ivanrest CRC to visit Brent, Jen, and Emma before heading home for more time in the pool. Kyler now likes to drag his hand across the top of the water and make noises (that one boat trip must have really made an impression). Grandma watched Kyler while we picked out a wonderful burgundy belle red maple tree for the front yard and picked him up a pair of cars from
Costco -- Batman and Joker, of course.
On Monday, Kyler helped me clean up lunch by wiping off his own high chair tray with his washcloth. Then we headed out to
Calvin for the
Biology Department picnic. Kyler had not napped much, and then we hit some really bad traffic due to a car accident. We were stuck in the car for almost 2 hours! Kyler was great the whole time and actually fit in a nap that lasted almost an hour. Tuesday was yet another picnic at
Calvin, but this one was for the new faculty. We were able to talk with the new president (Michael LeRoy), but Kyler thought his prayer was too long and squealed loudly for it to end. Oh, the fun of Kyler! :)
Wednesday brought the planting of our tree and Jen bringing Emma over to go swimming in the pool. Later that evening, Grandpa was cutting down hawthorn trees in the back yard, but Kyler did not like the sound of the chainsaw and had his little lower lip quivering anytime we went outside. We had dirt dropped off at our house on Thursday, but the truck driver came right as I was up to my elbows in a dirty diaper. So we ran to the door with a bare bottom. On Friday, Grandpa came over for the day to rototill, and we spent the day eating our meals outside. Grandma came over at lunch and after work to help out. Kyler enjoyed both of the new foods he tried this week: barley and broccoli.

| He likes his books, even though he looks tired in this picture |
 |
| Look how tall he is! |

| Watching the tree get planted in the front yard |
 |
| So mesmerized by either the tree or the truck |
 |
| "I am coming to get you, Mommy!" |

| Watching the hard work in the yard... |
