Happy Independence Day

It's been crazy around here. So we're due for a break. I'm taking the boys to D.C. for a short vacation (hopefully updates and details to follow) which will give Allison some breathing room to catch up and maybe get ahead of her nursing studies.

In keeping with the patriotic flavor of the holiday here's a few pics from our front yard and the sunflowers Carrick planted in our new front planting bed. These things are not just sunflowers or giant sunflowers but were labeled 'mammoth sunflowers.' I think they live up to their name.

The second pic is of the proud gardener and the third should give a little scale.

Happy 4th everyone!
