Leaves Through The Years

One of the reasons we bought this house is because the yard is FULL of mature trees like this one...



Sooo it stands to reason that we spend a fair amount of time every year tending to leaves...lots and LOTS of leaves :)  Thankfully, it isn't all toil and drudgery.  C and G make it fun for all four of us :)




As I was looking at these pictures that J took on Saturday, I was reminded of  other pictures we'd over the years of this same Leaf-Raking Event :)

Some years were decidedly less joy filled (C at 10 months old)...


His grumpy disposition toward leaves didn't stick though (C at 20 months old)





Some were REALLY sweet :) (C at 32 months and G at 7 months)






Unfortunately, we don't have pictures to represent every year...it was still a fun little trip down memory lane none-the-less :)  These old pictures make me a little sentimental.  But then I remember one VERY important detail and am brought right back to an appreciation for today...the older they get the more they can actually HELP us with all these BLASTED leaves :)
