Dad's Helper

Jer is building a shed in our backyard, and it has become quite the project. It's nice that he's handy and can do it himself, but on the other hand it has been taking up a lot of his time. He's pretty much done with his part though, and it will be nice to dejunk our garage a bit.


Jer framed it and did a lot of the work alone, but our neighbor Jason helped out and made it go much quicker. My dad also spent a Saturday helping out with the cedar siding which we really appreciate!


Seth wants to be very involved and "help" all the time. He hauls all the boards he can lift out to Jer and then Jer has him haul them all back again, and he feels like he's really contributing!


Seth already has a lot of interest in all things mechanical, wheeled, motorized, and I guess anything to do with construction/tools can be added to the list. He is definitely a hands-on kind of kid so far. Luckily he has a dad that can teach him a lot.




The shed is almost done now and looks great. I will post a picture when it's finished. Luke and his friends are going to be sad when it has a door on it and is no longer their secret hideout!

Ok, I need to know who took your family picture. It is so pretty. Your boys are such handsome little studs. We'll have to come by sometime and check out the new shed when it's finished. Gotta love being married to a guy with "man skills", right? I'm guessing that would be nice:)
