We didn't quite satisfy our appetite for destruction when we had the driveway replaced, so we decided to replace the main sewer line this week. Last Saturday, we meticulously trimmed the hedges and pulled tiny tree suckers; three days later, our front yard looked like this:
Ben had never been beneath the sidewalk before. Now he can cross that item off his bucket list.
The Rockies made it to the playoffs! Emily and Grandpa joined us for a Rockies game last week. Emily sure can boogie down. They didn't win on this particular day, but at least it was an exciting game.
Also, for those of you who took part in the Great Tolman/Terry Health Care Debate of 2009, I have a proposal: next time let's just see if we can arrange a boxing match between, say, Sarah Palin and Jimmy Carter and call it good. What say you?And, as an additional postscript, H1N1 hit our house this week. Rebecca is the only family member who hasn't grown a pig snout at this point.

Well, if you can dig a ditch like that while having the swine flue, I guess it's not that bad! :)
I really hope you guys feel better soon though. We're praying for you!
And about the debate, I actually enjoyed hearing both sides. There's so much to consider. It will be interesting to to see how it all plays out.
Sarah Palin and Jimmy Carter? I really don't think that's much of a fight. Miss Alaska would probably have one her hunting buddies just snipe him out from a helicopter.
Ok... i finally am looking at your ditch.. Glad our good OSHA buddies didn't see you in that trench. 4' max depth with a 1:1 slope on the spoils as a starter... believe it or not people have been buried alive in trenches like that. hmmm sounding a bit less conservative everyday..
oh, owwwwee. looking at the trench looks soooo painful in the pocketbook. so sorry!
