Mason loves the change of seasons. He and Matt winterized the mower and weedeater, and tuned up the snow blower.

Taking it for a test run.

Miss Desi is almost 18 months. She's proven to have keep her determination to overcome obstacles and have a very cheerful disposition. Since she could move, she has always taken the difficult route--going over things and not around them. Lately, she's conquered putting on her socks and slippers and putting on pants. Here she is a few days ago practicing her sock skills. She and Mason are similar in that they work on a task all day long, or days in a row, to figure out how to do something. It's precious to watch them grow up together.

Here's a picture of Mason, close to the age Desi is now. They're for sure related ... especially the eyes and noses!
