Pecans

The above pecans were picked off the ground under one of my three pecan trees I have in the yard. The boys (Kallsen & Parker) helped me pick them up and enjoyed the pecans.

In this first picture Kallsen is working at getting the pecan out of the shell. At first he didn't want to try the pecans but once he got a taste, it was like it became his favorite food of all time.

You can also see in this picture that Kallsen's hair is coming back. And that he is focused on getting his prize.
Parker has his hand out for a pecan Momma helped the boys with taking
the shell off of the pecans. After Momma took the pecans inside the boys continued to find pecans and asked me to crack the shell for them. I was using my hands to crack the shells and I tell you this...my hands hurt.
We decided to pick pecans for their Nana. We're going to Nana and Poppa's for Thanksgiving on Thursday and we thought the pecans picked from our own yard we be a nice gift for Nana.

I was thinking the same thing about the soldier look! He looks like he is concentrating very hard on the task at hand!
