Cousins, I love ya!




It's been a busy weekend. Drew and I are both looking forward to going to work tomorrow so we can sit down! The theme of this weekend has been yard work. Our yard looks like Lady Havisham's garden. We blew the dust off our yard tools and got crackin on it. This weekend we accomplished cleaning out a bed, building a rock wall, planting stuff and pulling weeds out from between stones on our path. My bones were screaming for me to go back in the house and pretend it's still winter. Spring is the best thing ever. Although tiring, yard work is up there on my list of top ten favorite things to do. You can't buy that kind of therapy. We are in the process of relandscaping a good bit of the yard. Hear that neighbors? Last summer we were so bad. I could just picture our neighbors looking out the window and shaking their heads in disgust. Once one of our neighbors even mowed our grass for us while we were at work. I guess because I was pregnant and the heat was torturous, we didn't do that much in the yard. This house is way old and has a very large lot with tons of neato plants all in it that people have planted along the way. I am very attached to this house, particularly the yard, garden, and porch. I fall in love with it all over again every spring. I hope that we are blessed to outgrow it :), but it will be a sad day if we move. Anyway, Joseph hung out in the shade all weekend and played with his toes while we toiled. Today we hung out with cousins. We love our girls! (These pictures were actually taken a couple of weeks ago).
