visitor in the backyard

The picture isn't the best i have ever taken, but it was dark and I was using my 400mm lens. Anyway, last night we had a very large visitor in the field behind the house.

a small but significant milestone

Last night at dinner (Texas Roadhouse) Kailey ate peanuts for the first time. ..there was no reaction.
