Stuart has, on an isolated occasion, been called compulsive.  I guess that the apple doesn't fall far from the old tree.

Despite all the pages of activities you may have seen on this site, perhaps the most exciting event of the entire summer, as far as Lyell is concerned, occurred when a water main outside our house had a problem and this truck set up a worksite with jackhammers and everything right outside our front door. 

What more could a young fellow ask for?!

Teri had to comfort Mason because he is too small to go out and watch the workers with their jackhammers.  Next year, little fella!
