Landscaping

Yes, we finally have a lawn! Adam and I started working on our yard in late June. We had full intention of having the landscaping done before the Crew was born however we ended up finishing it when Crew was one week old. It was somewhat overwhelming to say the least. But we are so thrilled that it is finished.

Thank you to my Brother-in-law who helped us do our landscaping. He hauled out rocks, set sprinklers, graded the top soil, and laid sod. He did an amazing job!

Sprinklers





Grading the top soil--we had 10 truck loads of top soil! We also had a ton of rocks to cover.







Curbing (Set on Friday the day after Crew was born).



Sod

We are so thankful for all the family, friends, and neighbors who so kindly gave their time and service to help us lay sod. Thank you!









Almost done just have to clean up.





Our darling neighbor girls across the street came and met Crew that evening and after wards made this for him.



Back and side yard





What a difference grass makes!

I can't believe you did all that after the baby came! Way to go. It makes me feel a little more confident that we could move after the baby came as that is a pretty good possibility at this time. eek. I never got your email. did you send it to darci33@gmail.com?
