daddy, daughter & dirt

after clearing the yard of the jungle that had grown around us, it was time to tackle our sewage clean out. hold your excitement. it was poking its crooked self out of the ground at a 45 degree angle and appeared to be broken. nice. my neighbor was surprised we hadn't had sewage backed up in our house already. i wasn't surprised, just grateful. luckliy, the landscape boys dug the majority of it out with their toys, otherwise brady would have been there all night. it turns out, it was a simple fix. when they put in the sewer clean out, they put an elbow on it and when they backfilled, they knocked it over. there was only a small crack. thank you very much. (blessing counted)

but, i didn't take this picture to document the poop pipe. i took it because daddy's little sidekick said, "let me in that dirt." and he did. it never matters what brady is doing or how much time he does or does not have . . . he is so quick to seize the moment instead of letting the simple moments pass him by.

i realize it's just my daughter and after all it's just dirt . . .

but i love him for that.
