the start of something big

My brother and his wife were here this weekend. It was really great! Nathan is a youth pastor in SD and Ana is his super sweet newly-barista wife. We met them in Lincoln on Thursday for a Dare to Share luncheon conference thing. Ana and I couldn't go in but had awesome Chipotle for lunch. Then we drove home and enjoyed showing them our new house for the first time.

Saturday, Terry and Nathan spent the afternoon working on installing a chain link fence in our backyard while Ana and I made pizza. Our back yard is quite large and it's a little bit of a bummer to put a fence up, but we really need one - for the dog mostly, and to not have to worry about the kiddies.

So Terry borrowed an auger from a friend which made the post hole digging much easier.

Nathan did the grunt work with the post hole digger. He said his hands were hurting him today

Noah played with Terry's dad's 100-foot tape measure and Evie fought him for it.

Ana and I offered moral support and played with the dogs. That's Brodie, their Golden-doodle. He's in need of a fur-cut ;)

He is a great dog

I really enjoy the look of the sun through the leaves. So pretty

Brodie and Snap made up this game where Snap would pretend that he cared about Brodie's frisbee and guard it from him (Snap's foot is on it). Snap thinks he's bigger than he is and Brodie is too laid back to fight for the alpha dog position.

Ana was throwing the frisbee and Noah was measuring the lawn...or something.

Here the boys are almost done for the day. This is the corner of the bball hoop, where a gate will be.

We could use a wheel barrow, yeah?

Level it out T-dawg

Not bad for their first time right?
