Good Help Isn't So Hard to Find After All!!

As I mentioned before, we just finished doing some landscaping in our backyard.  Sean was very excited to see them again.  Last year he was allowed to help when they did the front, so naturally he was hoping this would be the case again.   Jeremy (the head guy, who took a liking to him last year) wasn't working our job this time... so Sean somewhat shyly asked the new guys if he could help.  Fortunately, they didn't mind at all.  In fact they were happy to give Sean jobs, and enjoyed chatting with him and watching him run off to find his tools whenever they got something new out.   They even had him take plants from the truck to the backyard using his gator!!  Of course, not one to be left out these days, Ryan joined in the fun when he got up from his nap.  As soon as he sees Sean doing something he shouts "My too Mommy, my too!!"

Time to fill up again.
Are we ever going to get through all of this?

Sean and Ryan, you are such big helpers! You did a beautiful job putting all that heavy river rock in mommy and daddy's gardens!

I really like your wheel barrows! Love

Hi Sean: Boy, are you ever a hard worker. I bet the landscapers were happy to have your help. It looks like you were teaching Ryan how to be a helper. That is being a good big brother. What a big pile of river rocks. That would take a long time to move all of them to the garden but I'll bet you did it.
I guess it was fun to ride up on the back of the truck. It must have felt like being on an elevator.
Keep on being a good helper to everybody especially mommy and daddy and your little brother Ryan as I know you will.
See you real soon.
Love,
Papa Joe
