This afternoon I mowed the yard.
I mow the yard with an old-school hand-me-down mower with no guards – just pure grass-clippings shooting out like a salad-shooter as I walk along our small yard.
As I mowed today, I came upon a praying mantis.
Usually this mantis would’ve been sent through the lawn mower without a thought, but today this mantis was spared and I enjoyed watching him walk along the yard to safety.
Just thought you’d like to hear about this change in me!
In other news…
Ella & Jess are sick. :(
I took them both to the doctor today. Ella was given some medicine and thankfully Jess’ strep-test came back negative. We also found out that Ella is 15-pounds, 14-ounces today! Even though she is sick, she continues to be delightful and is doing her best to stay “happy”!
Sorry the girls are sick…couldn’t help but notice that Ella has officially passed up Madelyn who is currently 15 pounds, 5 ounces. :o)
Great job on the video, Stevan. I was very impressed!
couldnt u have taught her how to play with it instead of letting it go? i was reading fully expecting ella meets the praying mantis pictures! :( so sad.
