a close call for father's day

leif was a little tired on father's day. he woke up to someone banging on our front door at 3 am, and when he opened it, the guy says, "your fence is on fire!" me, gavin, lance, rachel, bethany, and isabelle all slept through the door banging and the fire engine. (it had been an exhausting couple of days and we were so tired!)

leif quickly put the fire out and met the firemen out front to say that everything was under control, and then he spent the next hour and 1/2 soaking the hazardous area just to be safe. he had burned some weeds in our backyard on saturday, and I guess some flames decided they weren't done yet. scary! the ox was definitely in the mire!

Yikes! Does that scare you that you guys actually slept through all that? Hopefully not next time (knock on wood). Gavin is so cute in this picture, he's so grown up! (Oh, Leif is cute too.)

yeah. he's been cursing at our old ice trays for awhile now, so I threw some new ones in wrapping paper. it was his favorite gift! :)
