Bikes & the avocado tree!

Amanda finally figured out how to ride the bike Aunt Ilene gave her for Christmas. Here's a few shots of her riding it down the block.

We had an old avocado tree in our backyard that I loved, but it turns out after we installed a sprinkler system, we watered it too much, and we ended up helping to kill it. According to a few "experts" that came out, the moist soil probably bred a whole lot of eathworms that ate away at the roots, and eventually killed it. So yesterday we finally had it removed. Here's where it used to be:
