Raking...again!

Ella always looks at Brent with interest, but he's not around enough for her to be 100% familiar either. I liked this picture because it looks like she was exploring him and reacquainting herself.
Big sis has to sneak in any pictures that involve only Ella. It's her job to get jealous, right?

Gracie has really been wanting to climb a tree, thanks in large part to Curious George. I told her several weeks ago that I wasn't strong enough to help her. Well, while we were raking she remembered her desire to climb a tree and Brent helped her up. She thought it was great!.

Gracie was extremely proud of her accomplishment and her bravery. The smile says it all!

Gracie has a lot of big ideas. This idea involved pulling the leaves off of the tree so that we wouldn't have to keep raking everyday. Another idea was to rake the leaves still on the tree. She had her little rake stuck up in the tree branches trying to rake the leaves off the tree. :-)

No more raking for Brent. He spent 30 minutes raking and threw his back out. It's just not worth it to me. I would rather do all of the physical jobs and have him in a lot less pain.

I think Brent needs to borrow Wapa's red coat. It's a raking ritual, right???

I hit post too quickly. I hope Brent's back is better. How is Gracie feeling?

Ah Gracie is so creative about wanting to get the leaves off the trees. Poor Brent, hope his back gets better. Your pictures were really great!
