we've been busy

I haven’t posted in a while. Some people think it’s funny that my daughter’s blog hasn’t been updated in over a year. We’ll see how well he manages two kids. Anyway, the past couple of weeks, Beth and I have been redding-up the outside of our home in preparation for Natasha’s second birthday party. Or parties. We had one for our friends and their kids on Saturday and another for our family on Sunday. We tore down the old awning frame, planted and mulched the front yard, built a swing set/play house and rebuilt the stairs that lead up to said swing set. This was done primarily in either 90 degree heat or the pouring rain.

We got it all done. The parties were a success and the yard looks nice. Now we can relax in the backyard for the rest of the summer and have picnics on the back patio. Bring on the burgers.
