First, we don’t have any pictures of Will 0.9 showing his new teeth.  He really won’t let us take any pictures of them, and they’re so sore that we won’t even really let us open his mouth to look at them.  The only reason we even know they have come in is because I was holding him upside down and tickling him and noticed his two front top teeth have broken through.  We do have some other good pictures from this week.  :-)

Second, the sprinkler /irrigation system installation is going well.  Jeremy, Kevin and Andy have been crucial to making the progress we did.  Saturday, we rented a Dingo with a bucket loader and trencher attachments, and finished most of the trenching.  Today, we cleaned up some of the trenches, finished burrowing under the sidewalk (playing in the mud!) in three places, and laid most of the 1″ PVC piping in the backyard and the west half of the front yard.  I’ve adjusted the design in several places as we’ve worked through it, mostly adding more sprinkler heads to the point of overkill.  This week, we’ll finish laying the rest of the piping and backfill the trenches, with half-inch or three-quarter inch pipes stubbed up through the surface for the installation of the actual sprinkler heads after the sod has been laid.  Hopefully, we’ll be able to lay sod next weekend, and install the sprinkler heads, and the project will be complete.
