Hard Workin'

Cain was out of school today so we got up and finished getting all of the leaves up. The yard looks so much better. I'm very proud of our hard work. You can't tell by this photo, but this leaf pile is HUGE. I hope that the city comes and picks them all up before it rains.

I've been missing my Uncle Tony a lot lately. He's the one that passed away in November after a seven-week battle with liver cancer. I almost started crying when Cain and I were raking and came across our horseshoe poles (is that what those are called?). Tony LOVED to play horseshoes and could rarely ever be beat at it. I get really sad when I think of what he's not around for things like that anymore. I know he's in a better place, but I still wish he were here.
