Michael (1-1/2) is getting ready to help daddy (unfortunately he was about to dig up all the shrubs daddy just planted)

Between my allergy to lilacs and the fact that it was in Lance's way, our friends and their kids came to help dig it out.

Almost ready for planting!

Look at all this great dirt! Daddy, are you SURE this is where tomatoes come from?

Our first crop!

and it's a BIG ONE!!
