An afternoon in the yard with Gareth...

Welcome to my yard!

Let us begin with a little dose of cuteness.

Better?

Now, I know it is cold outside, and Mommy and Daddy do not always share my enthusiasm even with the southern winters.  But, when I flash these baby blues, who can resist?

At right I am doing my famous point.  I am probably very excited about one of three things 1) trucks  2) balls or 3) trucks and balls.

Peekaboo!  Today I got to play in the leaves for the first time! The piles were almost as tall as my dad.  But here is the most amazing news….

Daddy raked leaves this year!  ;)  (Gareth groupies will remember that Grandma did Daddy's raking duty last year!)
