Our weekend with Grandpa and Grandma Grant

Esther helped Grandpa dig a hole for our new tree.

(She named Grandpa "Bunka" this weekend.)Esther telling us her hand got dirty.On Saturday we went blueberry picking. Esther got her very own bucket. I think you can guess how many berries were in her bucket at the end of our time. Esther loved giving Bunka his morning vitamins.

Doing Yard WorkEsther and her many silly faces.

Esther loves...

...Rabbits. We went to the fair this past week and Esther thought the little bunnies were so cute.
...Coloring. If she sees any pen or pencil within her reach, she's got it in her hands and is looking for something to write on. I've come to love color-wonder markers (they only mark on the special paper).

Texting and Driving at this age we think it's probably okay.

Last week Esther was so tender with her baby-doll. She sat it in the chair and kissed it and gave it "water" from a cup. So sweet.

Cutting our tree down

Here's Mike in the tiptop of our tree. He was using a rope system to secure himself as he climbed around up in the tree and had a small chainsaw that hung from his waist from a carabiner. It sounds (and was) dangerous, but he made it look surprisingly easy.

Almost done. After they had chopped all the branches off, they used a larger chainsaw and felled the remaining three bare trunks.
