Construction 101

In the late afternoon the boys went outside and found Tom and his grandad sawing branches for a treehouse. Tom’s grandad taught design mechanics or something like that (I should have been paying better attention when he told me what exactly it was instead of wondering which white balance settings to use) after retiring from the navy, so teaching the boys how to properly handle tools is right up his alley. Caleb and Aaron both found themselves under his tutelage for a short while. This pic of Aaron is so typical - ever the clown. Recently he’s decided that affection is good after all, so now I am showered with kisses and hugs after a long moratorium on kissing.
