Backyard changes

This summer, we've decided to make some changes to the backyard.  First, we got a swing set for the kids.  We also bought a special swing for Eve so she could enjoy it, too.  It's just like the swing she has at school.  Both kids just love it.  Seamus is quite the daredevil and already climbs the ladder by himself (with some parental spotting) and he climbs UP the slide by himself.  He will go down the slide on his own, too, but sometimes goes a little fast for his liking. 

Josie likes it, too.  She got a running start and ran up the rock wall in the back.

The second change was the new fence that we got for the backyard.  It has green box wire to keep Josie in.  She loves her new freedom.  I'm hoping it also makes the yard less attractive to the bears.  They usually hang out at the neighbor's anyhow.  

Seamus got a new lounge chair from Ikea.  He's good at lounging.  So is Josie (in the background).

First corn on the cob. 

All else is well.  The kids are both healthy.  Seamus got over his cold, and Eve's stoma looks pretty good.  She has a little more granulation tissue, but I'm going to leave it alone until they switch the gj tube.  Here's hoping for a great summer!
