"Lost" is Back

Work & Play
The construction crew got two windows and our back door up today (pictures tomorrow). We are still waiting for another week for the last window (which had to be ordered). After all this major progress the last week or so, it is going to be a long couple of weeks waiting for everything to get finished. We are ready to start using that room!

I left work about 1/2 hour early to try to take advantage of the sunny weather and cut up some more trees. Since Vachon made the mess on Sunday, the yard looks bad (not that it looks good with a bunch of stumps and mud, but still better than trees all over the ground. I recruited dad to come over and help me out. The work sure goes faster with 2 than with just me. We were able to clear about 2/3 of what Vachon had cut down. We also made some plans for what I would cut down next. I think I can cut down more than I expected to be able to cut down before. Another couple weeks and I hope to have all the trees down that I wanted down.

We cut until it got dark, then I showered and Shena and I watched a new episode of "Lost" (it had been several weeks since they showed a new one). It was good, of course. Kept us hanging on, as usual. The frustrating thing is ABC has been running the show over by 5 minutes (only Lost as far as I know), so when we reocrded it, we missed the last 5 minutes. I will have to try to figure out what we missed out on. It was showing a "back story" on one of the characters when it stopped recording, and it looked to me like he was about to drive his car into a tree or off a cliff (trying to commit suicide). Love that show, though.

Llano Update (Cheeto's Brood)
Shena came into the office to work today. Yesterday at the park, Cade invited himself over to Dede's to play, so Shena took him over this morning. Dede said he was a good kid and he and Hank had a great time playing. Kelson stayed with mom. Shena said when she picked the boys up they were excited to see each other. Like they missed each other. Mom said that Kelson looked for Cade the first 1/2 hour he was there at the house. They have been fighting a bit more regularly than they used to, but maybe that means they like each other more in some weird way.

Kelson fell asleep at about 6:45. I guess he only took a 10 minute nap today. I wish it was just a nap thing that was causing all these tantrums he's been throwing, but I don't think it is. I'm sure it is a terrible twos thing and he is testing our limits so that he knows what he can get away with. It'll be a long couple of months as we sort it all out.

No more than what I've already written.
