The two loves of my life:

So… Nana and Pa M. returned to the states on Thursday. They had a fine trip back and are now adjusting to life without Liam once more. However, life WITH Liam continues as normal.
Today I mowed the lawn. Twice. I spent an hour of Liam’s nap pushing the mower around the [...]
Just a few action shots of Liam running his digger. In some of the pics you can even see the dirt clinging to the claws.
Also, note the ever-present workboots. Real construction workers wear boots, you know!
