Are you sure it is spring?

Well yesterday i woke up to 2 inches of snow on the ground,k and then I thought wait a minute it is spring isn't it? Also the tree service guys were coming out to cut down our large maple tree. They were supposed to come out on Thursday but they postponed due to a bad weather forecast earlier in the week. Thursday was a beautiful day and yesterday it snowed. Go figure well they worked in the snow for two hours before they called it quits. they only took down just a fraction of the tree. i can not believe how much wood there already is on the ground. The pictures below only show part of it. The larges pieces of wood are 2 feet in diameter and the last pictures of the tree are what is still to be cut down. There is still half as much wood as what is piled still to be carried out of the woods.
I was really surprised that Toby handled all of the noise from the chainsaws and chipper really well. Speaking of Toby man has he grown he is crawling around like crazy now and he is fascinated with shoes. We really have to keep an eye on him.

After

The tree guys are coming back to finish the job on Thursday. Please hope for better weather so that they can get it done safely.

6 almost 7 month old

oh my gosh, i can not believe that Toby is 6 almost 7 months old. Man time flys! Well i know that i have not posted in a while but it is always on my mind to do so. Life around here has been pretty busy.

Since the last time that i posted Toby has grown two teeth. his main mode of transportation around the house is still by rolling but he also kicks his way around. i just know that he will be crawling before i know it. he also is almost able to push himself into a sitting position. he can sit by himself and play but he hasn't quite gotten enough strength up to push himself up yet.

Well for those of you just interested in pictures of Toby Here you go.

Toby is a rollin' machine

For those of you that were just about ready to start on the mad mail regarding no updates, here it is. Sorry it has been so long since the last post. Life around here has been pretty busy. I have two new listings that i have been working on that i am trying to get on the market along with my usual work load.

For These days Toby has really started to show his true colors and man he is such a character. He is so independant most of the time.i can not believe how interesting he is. he is so independant most of the time, he likes to play mostly by himself but when he wants company you better believe you needed to be there about two minutes ago. He rolls everywhere I can't believe it i will take my eyes off of him for just a second and he is halfway across the room. I know that I am going to have my hands full when he starts crawling oh and definatly when he starts walking. man I don't even want to think about that.

Just recently he has started to really notice the dogs and cats oh and the fish. He thinks that the dogs are really funny he laughs at them all the time. He likes to pet the cats and i am amazed at how all three of them are with him even if he accidently pulls their fur. When he sits in front of the fishtank he tries to grab at the fish but the glass walls are in the way.
