Fathers Day and more

I know, I've been doing a terrible job keeping up with the blog the past few weeks. The main reason is the landscaping. Nap time (when I usually work on the blog) has turned into the perfect time to get some work done. The front has been finished for a week now, but the sides needed a lot of work. We've moved some plants, planted new ones, added flowers, mulch and more bricks (more really, really heavy bricks). We probably have another day or two of work to do before the landscaping is done. We got a paint sander and have started working on the porch. We also ordered a porch swing on line. We're moving along and can see the finish line. Unfortunately, we have significantly more work to do in the back yard!

Heres what else we've been up to:
We had play group at Lakewood Park last week.
We've been taking plenty of walks recently. The boys are loving the stroller.

Yesterday was Fathers Day. We had a small celebration. Jon made one of his favorite dinners Friday night, crab legs. We got Jon a new pair of shoes and some jeans and the boys made a little home made book. It turned out very sweet. Its filled with pictures of the boys favorite things to do with dad decorated by the kids. Happy Fathers Day baby. We hope you had a good day.

We had another reason to celebrate yesterday. Jons cousin Chris got married yesterday. It was a beautiful day. The bride and groom looked so happy and we're very excited for them.
Ben got to spend the day with grandma. Sam came with us, since he's still a bit dependent on me for food. He conked out a bit early!

Can't wait to see the landscaping. Sounds like you've been hard at work! Only 5 more days until we will be in walking distance to see it! (well, I might not be walking that far until after Aelyn arrives :0) )

i always tend to work on the front yard more than the back. that's what most people see, i guess. sounds like you've been hard at work...we're always looking for willing workers over @ our house :)
