Summer

a full rainbow!

Thanks to our wonderful friends, we now can enjoy our patio and the warm summer evenings. Baca's gave us their old table and chairs and Jesse gave us his chiminea (fire pit thing)...THANKS!!! The marshmallows and graham crackers catch my eye every time I open the cupboard....just waiting to be s'mored.

After 2 very long weeks of not being able to touch our freshly laid sod, we can now walk on it! Dillon is a very happy dog. Joel found a lawn mower off craigslist that we hope will last longer than a few months :) There are a lot of "firsts" for us this summer and it is fun to go through it all as a family. Something so simple as seeing Joel mow his own lawn for the first time makes me smile. (secretly I think he was looking forward to it for like a month!) Im glad the mud pit backyard is gone and replaced with grass, a patio, and tomato plants. Now we just need a couple trees....the good old suburbs arent really handing those out for free.
