Uncle Super Heath came to visit last week. Jeff, Elliot, and I had a great time visiting with him. Here are a few pictures illustrating his time here.
Heath is very construction savvy, so we worked on a few home improvement projects while he was here (and got as much done with him in 2 days as we would have in 6 months or more without him).
Elliot's making his first attempt at climbing a ladder while helping daddy install a new light fixture (not too bad).
Elliot spent most of his time "helping" with the projects by coveting and stealing tools. In this picture, he's coveting a chisel (and perhaps wondering if our floor would ever be one piece again...in case you're wondering, it is).
We didn't work too hard, though...we had plenty of time for tickling and play, too!
One of the things Heath wanted to do during his visit was check out the local dairy farming scene, so here are a few pictures from our trip to Dalhart, TX.
One of my artistic shots of an irrigation rig (an essential piece of equipment on the dry West Texas farming scene).
Next, the landscape of a local dairy farm.
The farm inhabitants (cows)...though I think these are beef cows not dairy cows (sorry for the lack of continuity in the story, Heath!).
And, lastly, Elliot's impression of the 5 hour car ride.
One of Uncle Super Heath's parting gifts was some "deer jerkey." Elliot sampled some and realized that he liked it...a lot.
What he did not like was the actual parting, as Uncle Super Heath loaded up his truck and drove away, Elliot was very sad.
But, I bribed him with getting to lick the beater of some chocolate muffins and, while it didn't fix everything, he perked up.

I love that last picture with the beater:) Ella loves to do that too!
