Backyard

As far as the kids were concerned, the only thing that mattered about the unpacking and moving-in process was the backyard. Pat's father came and brought a swing set, a trampoline, and a washer and dryer as house warming gifts! He is the best! The swing set took all day in the humidity, and it was nearly dark before the kids got to play on it, but it was worth the wait.

Paul and Camille. It has taken us all year to get the grass to grow in.
The sod was laid in June on clay dirt and we didn't move in until August
to water it. There were several areas that never did grow and we ended
up seeding. Grass is harder to grow than I thought. :)

Happy Caleb!
