Yard Update

Well after everyone left we were able to finish a few things in the yard. Including finally getting rid of all the branches. Now our yard is extra fun and a little oasis since the white mulberry tree (fruitless) shades all of the grass in the backyard. Since then, we have also been able to explore the area and find trails for exercise. Sorry Chrissy that I didn't know where they were when you were here. Now the next time when you come I'll know exactly where to direct you for your runs.
The cleared concrete RV pad/basketball court

 The comfy camping hammock and our trampoline (the neighbors gave it to us)

 Compost bins, wood pile and future chicken home (probably not until next summer though)




As well, we got a screen that has magnets and opens up in the middle for the sliding door so that we can now leave the door open (and we finally got a ladder)
 I finally got my grill. I'm just waiting for Eric to start slyly hinting that he tired of grilled food since I made it several times a week.
 And for everyone who left before Kim and Wendy, these are the nice blinds that we added to keep the kitchen cool and make the living room more private and match the rest of the house. I've learned that the kitchen absolutely gets the best light and will soon become my jungle room.

Bonus pictures.
 Oliver loves hanging out in crib forts with Teddy.
 In my effort to help Oliver have more hands on/fun activities, I bought him some watercolors.

 We usually put them away once they start making their way to his face. I usually help him with this part. I've gotta get good at face painting so that we can offer that at his next birthday party.


 This is one of Teddy's favorite hang out spots. I'm just glad that you can't see the floor in the picture. It gets littered with cheerios and random food so quickly, it is unbelievable.

 The process of Oliver trying on some swim shorts that didn't fit me and Teddy wishing he wasn't underneath the couch.
