Hey... The yard work starts here!

We spent this past weekend doing "fun things" in the yard. We're actually quite proud of ourselves. We cleaned up and refined a flower bed in our backyard and cleaned up the leaves, weeds, and "doggie land mines" in the yard. It was a great time... I know you all wish you were there to help.

Unfortunately because of our camera situation there are no pictures.

Well Miss Caroline was a tremendous help. She help her mother take countless numbers of decorative rocks out of the flower bed and put them into the wheelbarrow. She really was fun to watch... Especially when she decided to clean the rocks off by licking them! I know most of you were waiting to find out the talent she got from her father... And it's rock licking! I'm so proud.

Now I don't recall ever licking rocks... But I find it hard to believe that anyone will think that Miss Caroline got that talent from a mother who went to two different universities on full academic scholarships. Needless to say, I think ol' Mommy & Daddy will be sending checks to some institution of higher learning (i.e. Technical Institute or Texas Tech) on Miss Caroline's behalf.

Miss Caroline was also a great help at watering the redone flower bed. So much so that she didn't want to do anything else. That's right, she was going to pour water on something or lick rocks. And it was up to Mommy & Daddy to decide which...

So we did what all great parents would do in that situation... We let her lick rocks.

"Hodge"podge

Hi everyone ... (ha ha -- I think like only 5 people know about this blog, so hi to all 5 of you) The Hodges camera has been down again, so we don't have any new pictures to post. So that's why this blog has been more "Boring" than ever lately. We will try to get another camera as soon as we can so that we can upload some more exciting updates. In the interim, here are some pictures from last month -- a hodgepodge montage, if you will:

Jason has taught Caroline something he calls "game face." I don't understand, myself.

Here is Caroline's impression of a bear (and/or lion, tiger, etc.) -- Rrowl!

Daddy love.
