Construction Site

It seems as though pretty much every road surrounding us has been under construction since we moved here.  They're expanding roads like crazy to help with the traffic!  Well, not far from our house, they just started a new project, which means construction equipment galore.  Last week, we stopped on our way to run an errand so Gavin could get out and explore the machines a bit.  He thought it was pretty cool!

John's Tractor

Gavin has a new love of tractor. We recently visited Doug and Kim, friends through Sam's Club, and their children for dinner. Gavin fell in love with all of their son's tractors and played in his room with him most of the night. When it came time to leave, Gavin didn't want to let go of the tractors, so John (age 11) said he could borrow one. This tractor has been Gavin's new obsession. He calls it "John's Tractor" and I can't tell you how many times we have found ourselves on our hands and knees searching EVERYWHERE for John's tractor. He sleeps with it, takes it in the car, plays with it....he even let me clip his nails recently because we had to show John's Tractor how he gets his nails cut. :) He loves it, but it sure does drive Jarrod and I crazy when we spend our evenings before bed searching high and low for John's Tractor! I'm not sure John will ever get this thing back....
