Mowing the yard...

I am so proud of my baby girl! Needless to say every since Matt left last week, Gracie has been attached at my hip. If I am in a room she has to be there too, if I go upstairs to grab something, I know she is going to be right behind me, etc. etc. etc. Well, I HAD to mow the yard. There were parts that if Harley laid down, I don't know if I would be able to see her. So I bit the bullet and prayed that Gracie would be content eating her breakfast and watching Wonder Pets while I mowed. She did such a great job! She was great, even when I came in to get the broom to sweep off the landing. Having said that, I am proud of myself too! I have not mowed since 1999....actually I take that back....1998. Yes, you read that right, 1998. That was when Aunt Joy and Uncle Joe moved to West Frankfort and I moved up to Jacksonville with Grandpa and Grandma. So, when I went out to the shed and looked at the mower and thought "I sure hope these things haven't changed that much." Low and behold, they haven't. I started it right up and mowed the yard. It only took me about 20 minutes or so. We don't have that big of a yard. So I just wanted to share. We are hanging around the house doing a bit of cleaning. I have some friends coming at the end of the week with their 1 year old triplets. Yep, that means the adults are going to be out numbered...needless to say it should be interesting! :)
