Dirt don't hurt

and neither does a little tumble in the back yard.

We went out to try and get some work done this morning between hail and rain showers. My job was pulling massive weeds in the front yard, Gabe was in the back yard with Levi planting the blueberries and raspberries we bought this morning. Levi likes to play in the lower part of the yard, but you have to go down these terrible wooden steps to get down there. Levi slipped on the big bottom step and ended up doing a face plant into the gravel. Poor guy! He doesn't have any battle wounds. Just ended up a little muddy. (I know the focus is off in this picture but getting pictures with Levi's face in focus is getting harder and harder. What toddler wants to hold still for a picture?) Also, please ignore the snot running out of my child's nose. There were some tears flowing after this tumble. Plus, he caught something either at the zoo in Nashville or on the way home. He's been sick and crabby all week. In fact, he's woken up coughing 3 times during his nap today. And it sounds bad. It makes my chest hurt just listening to him. If it doesn't sound better tomorrow, he'll be on his way to visit the doctor on Monday.

Can't believe how fast this week flew by! Hoping the next ten go by just as fast.

Grammy thinks our little man looks cute (and adorable) no matter what the circumstances! And, Grandpa Tom knows all too well about how slippery steps can be - he's still wearing the ankle brace Dr. Thomas gave him. But, he's OLD! Hope Levi gets better soon and doesn't have to go to the Dr. There is so much going around right now and seems like so many people are sick, especially ones who ride on airplanes with all those germs being re-circulated in the air. Give him hugs & kisses for us - we miss him (you guys too) and hope to see you soon. Love, Grandpa & Grammy
