Deer in the Yard

Kyle saw three deer in the yard Tuesday morning walking between our house and the neighbors about 6:45 am. I have seen evidence in the yard that they have been here. The tomato plants have been trimmed down a couple of feet and they are nibbling at my trees. I really need to go get some fencing before I lose trees this year to the deer.

Jamie and I have been walking down to the play park every day so the kids can play. Kennedi LOVES the park and SCREAMS when we leave. She is still not walking although she will stand on her own. I'm sure once she does walk her parents will wish she were crawling.
