Work Weekend

This weekend was deemed a work weekend at the Duran home.

Friday at 4:30 we went to rent a bobcat.
Pancho drove the bobcat home while I followed him in the Neon with the emergency lights on.
As soon as we got home he picked up the first load of dirt and delivered it to the backyard.
Then he parked the bobcat in the garage.
A dream-come-true for Pancho: having a bobcat parked in our garage!

Earlier Friday morning Fanny, Katrina, Samuel and I watched as two different loads of topsoil were delivered.
Katrina was intrigued by the dumptrucks.
Samuel was scared of the noise and was pulling away, trying to get back inside instead of standing in the doorway.

Then, early Saturday morning the work began.
Katrina joined the workforce and came to the front door looking for some "work gloves like Dr. Grim's."
I eventually found her some.
It didn't matter to her that they did not match.
Samuel stayed inside with Tia while the work commenced.

Later in the afternoon Samuel headed out to the deck to be a tiny bit closer to the action.
Katrina got to ride inside the bobcat (much to the chagrin of her nana) with Brian, a licensed driver and close friend.
Pancho grabbed a rake and worked hard to spread the topsoil evenly throughout the yard with Dr. Grim and my dad at his side.
Brogan, Brian's son, began mowing by faith.
That is what we continue to do;
Trusting the Lord for the increase.
