While our world DOES absolutely revolve around Baby Girl, we do manage to get out and do stuff :-) Tim broke out his chain saw yesterday (the one I got him for Christmas last year!) and got rid of the vine maple that was crowding the base of the cedar tree. He had a good time ;-)
Baby Girl and I watched from a distance. For the most part we did ok. Only once did my heart leap into my throat. ;-)

It's a lovely chainsaw, but it can leap up or down in a second and cause dreadful damage :-(. My wife would not let me use one (secondhand from my brother) until I had gone on a 2-day course at the local agricultural college (Shuttleworth in England); once I had done the course I understood why ...
