Lawn Party

Exciting news on the home front... we're finally doing some landscaping! Today new sod was laid in our front yard, and we're thrilled with the new look. It took a lot of Round-Up and time to kill our old lawn (do you call it a lawnm if it is mostly crab grass?), then we hired someone to put in a new sprinkler system and do the rest. Next we will get al the bushes in front and back trimmed up and looking clean. Now we just need to tackle the backyard....someday.





And in other news, today we got to spend the day with cousin Olivia who is visiting this summer from Switzerland. She'll be here for 6 weeks working on perfecting her English. She is Patrick's fifth cousin! So my fourth cousin once removed or something like that? Cool!
