Many months ago, Michael promised Elliot a tree house. Yesterday, it happened. It started with Michael picking up some in the back yard. Then he found some of the scrap lumber behind the shed. One thing led to another, as one thing often very quickly leads to another with Michael. And before I knew it, a tree house was taking shape. At one point the kids were sitting about 5 yards back, just watching their papa like an audience as he worked. By the end of the afternoon, it was done. They were SO excited. The tree house was quickly named "Fort Gordon Perdita". Perdita is, of course, the mama in the 101 Dalmatian story. That was Elsie's contribution. Many, many things have already made it into the fort. Food, pets, toys, even Ezra and me. I may hide there when I don't want anyone to find me.

That looks great! Michael is such a good papa and knows how to show those kids a good time. They will ALWAYS remember this fort.
